    Author: Lynn RB.
    Journal: Can J Surg; 1983 Jan; 26(1):62. PubMed ID: 6821764.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac tamponade is a well-known result of fluid collection within the pericardial sac. That air in the pericardial sac can produce a similar clinical picture is not so well known. The author describes the case of a 38-year-old patient with acute cardiac tamponade produced by air within the pericardial sac after trauma.
