Unreferenced date July 2009 As distinct from the Western medical concept of pericardium , this concept from Traditional Chinese Medicine is more a way of describing a set of interrelated parts than an anatomical organ. See Zang Fu theory The Pericardium is also called the heart protector, and, for clinical purposes, is considered a Yin and yang yin organ paired with the Yin and yang yang organ San Jiao . In general theory, the Pericardium is not distinguished from the Heart. It is also the first line of defence against the Heart from External Pathogenic Influences. The Pericardium has a Meridian Chinese medicine meridian named for it, which reflects the health of the organ. In terms of the Five Elements , these organs are both associated with the fire element. In treatment, it is often best to approach heart problems via the Pericardium, rather than directly. The peak time for the Pericardium is from 7pm to 9pm.

This operation is most commonly done to relieve constrictive pericarditis , or to remove a pericardium that is calcified and fibrous. There are many etiologies for constrictive pericarditis and it is better to know the exact cause as the post operative morbidity, mortality and life expectancy are strongly influenced by the cause. It takes place by removing the infected, fibrosed, or otherwise damaged pericardium. The procedure begins when the surgeon makes an incision in the skin over the Human breastbone breastbone and divides it to expose the pericardium. During the surgery, the surgeon will grasp the pericardium, cut the top of this fibrous covering of the heart , drop into the specimen bag, and the heart is re covered. Then, the surgeon will wire the breastbone back together, the incision is closed, and the procedure is completed.When all the portion of pericardium lying between the two phrenic nerve s is excised it is called total pericardiectomy. In cases where total pericardiectomy is not possible, subtotal pericardiectomy is performed or, in extreme cases, a cruciate incision on the pericardium is performed.

Interventions infobox Name PAGENAME Image ICD10 ICD9 ICD9proc 37.0 MeshID D020519 OtherCodes In medicine , pericardiocentesis is a procedure where fluid is aspirated from the pericardium the sac enveloping the heart . Position The patient undergoing pericardiocentesis is positioned supine with the head of the bed raised to a 30 to 60 degree angle.This places the heart in proximity to the chest wall for easier insertion of the needle into the pericardial sac.Anatomically, the procedure is carried out under the xiphisternum up and leftwards. ref cite book last Sam first Amir H. coauthors James T.H. Teo title Rapid Medicine publisher Wiley Blackwell year 2010 isbn 1405183233 ref Process It is generally done under medical ultrasonography ultrasound guidance, to minimize complications. There are two locations that pericardiocentesis can be performed without puncturing the lungs. One location is through the 5th or 6th intercostal space at the left sternal border at the cardiac notch of the left lung. The other location is through the infrasternal angle . Indications Indications include cardiac tamponade , as well as the need to analyze the fluid surrounding the heart. Cardiac tamponade is a condition in which an accumulation of fluid within the pericardium creates excessive pressure, which then prevents the heart from filling normally with blood. This can critically decrease the amount of blood that is pumped from the heart, which can be lethal. The removal of the excess fluid reverses this dangerous process. Examples of the need for fluid analysis would be to differentiate whether a fluid collection within the pericardium is due to an infection , spread of cancer , or possibly an autoimmune condition. Similar Procedures In cases where longer term drainage is needed, the cardiothoracic surgeon can create a pericardial window . This involves the removal of a section of the pericardium, and the placement of a chest tube. External links MedlinePlus 003872 eMedicine med 3560 ... more details

About the American surgeon the British police officer, Sir Henry Dalton Henry Dalton police officer Henry C. Dalton born May 7, 1847 was superintendent of the St. Louis, Missouri St. Louis City Hospital from 1886 to 1892, and later a professor of abdominal and clinical surgery at Marion Sims College of Medicine now part of the St. Louis University School of Medicine . He is noted for performing the first surgical suture suturing of the pericardium on record. The operation occurred on September 6, 1891 at the City Hospital, on a twenty two year old man who had been stabbed in the chest. Upon arrival of the patient, Dalton cleaned the wound and applied a dressing of antiseptic gauze. After several hours, the patient s condition worsened the left side of his chest became dull to Percussion medicine percussion his temperature and pulse rate rose his breathing became shallow and he complained of considerable pain. He was taken to the surgical amphitheatre, where Dalton made an incision over the fourth rib and removed about six inches of it. After tying the severed intercostal artery to control bleeding and removing the blood from the pleural cavity , Dalton observed a transverse wound of the pericardium about two inches in length. With a sharply curved needle and catgut , he closed the wound by continuous surgical suture suture , overcoming great difficulty caused by the heart pulsations. The pleural cavity was then irrigated and the chest incision closed without drainage. The patient made an uninterrupted, rapid recovery. The published report of the operation appeared in the state medical association s journal and another local periodical in 1894, and in the Annals of Surgery the following year. References Henry C.
