  • Title: Cardiac tamponade due to pneumopericardium.
    Author: Johnston SL, Oliver RM.
    Journal: Thorax; 1988 Jun; 43(6):482-3. PubMed ID: 3047901.
    Abstract:
    Pneumopericardium is rare in acute asthma and cardiac tamponade has not been reported. The case is reported of a 20 year old asthmatic patient in whom assisted ventilation and high airway pressures resulted in tension pneumopericardium with clinical signs of cardiac tamponade that were relieved by pericardial aspiration.
