5) Myocardial contusion (edema and hemorrhage in the myocardium) which may result in dysrhythmias, blocks (especially RBBB as here), and poor cardiac contractility, including wall motion abnormalities. In the ED, ultrasound showed hemopericardium with tamponade. She was pulseless, with a narrow complex tachycardia on the monitor.

A bedside cardiac ultrasound was performed with a parasternal long axis view demonstrated below: There is a large pericardial effusion with collapse of the right ventricle during systole. The beat-to-beat variation in QRS amplitude and morphology is electrical alternans. This patient is only pseudo-stable. She has already had syncope.

Check : [vitals, SOB, Chest Pain, Ultrasound] If the patient has Abdominal Pain, Chest Pain, Dyspnea or Hypoxemia, Headache, Hypotension , then these should be considered the primary chief complaint (not syncope). Also consider non-hemorrhagic volume depletion, dehydration : orthostatic vitals may uncover this [see Mendu et al. (3)].
