Draining pericardial effusion without your knees knocking! :)
For whatever the reason doing anything with the heart sends my own heart rate up. First it was measurements, then doppler work, and that darn aortic outflow in cats! Haha! I was presented with a pericardial effusion echo case today that sent me into anxiety-ville. I am posting the videos here, and as far as…
