A patient assessment reveals distended neck veins, pulsus paradoxus, and decreased systolic pressure. This assessment is most consistent with:
|
a. cardiac tamponade. |
|
b. heart failure. |
|
c. hemothorax. |
|
d. pulmonary contusion. |
Homework Answers
Cardiac tamponade is a condition characterised by compression of heart due to fluid accumulation in the pericardium.
It is characterised by three signs known as Beck’s triad which include low BP, distended jugular vein and muffled heart sound. Other sign include pulsus Paradoxus
So the answer is (a) cardiac tamponade.
