pericardial effusion with tamponade? 

 

No, there was a trace pericardial effusion but not clinically significant.  Take a look at the aortic root; elderly patient with sudden, sharp chest pain and hypotension.  Which of the 5 E's of emergency echo does he have a problem with?

Effusion (is there a significant one?)

Ejection (how is the squeeze?)

Equality (is the RV > LV?)

Exit (thoracic aorta)

Entrance (IVC)
