- 10 Cardiac tamponade is characterized by hemodynamic instability due to heart compression by the accumulation of fluid, blood, clots, or gas in the pericardial space. (acls.com)
- 10 If fluid accumulation is gradual, pericardial pressure remains low because the pericardium can increase its compliance by undergoing stretch, which is accomplished by an increase in surface area and mass. 5 With continued accumulation of fluid, the intrapericardial pressure eventually increases and becomes high enough to impede cardiac filling-at which time, cardiac function becomes impaired and cardiac tamponade can be considered to be present.
