Ultrasound improved the recognition of cardiac tamponade and therefore has a vital role in acute critical situations in the Emergency Department and in the Intensive Care Unit. Besides recognition of cardiac tamponade, treatment protocols are important. In trauma patients with hemodynamic stable cardiac tamponade, time should be taken for a proper workup for an explorative sternotomy. In hemodynamic unstable trauma patients, the pericardium should be drained, and fluid resuscitation should be performed followed by emergency sternotomy. In this case report we describe a blunt thoracic trauma victim, a 28-year-old male patient without any medical history. He suffered from the unique combination of a tear in the left atrial appendage and a papillary muscle rupture of the right ventricle because of blunt thoracic trauma. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed massive pericardial effusion with diastolic collapse of the right ventricle in our patient. Due to his hemodynamic situation, the patient was brought into the OR for immediate sternotomy and cardiac repair. The patient made a full recovery, was discharged home, and is back to work. This case report emphasizes the relevance of early recognition and treatment of cardiac tamponade in blunt thoracic trauma victims and suggests a multidisciplinary management strategy. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2050313x231204195","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,16]],"date-time":"2023-10-16T08:09:27Z","timestamp":1697443767000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Immediate sonography and intervention in blunt chest trauma: A case report"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-0799-761X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hans","family":"Van der Wal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences and Cell Systems, section Anatomy and Medical Physiology, University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, the Netherlands"},{"name":"Department of Intensive Care Medicine, University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joost","family":"van der Maaten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nasim","family":"Azizi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Theo","family":"Klinkenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7745-2772","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matijs","family":"van Meurs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Intensive Care Medicine, University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2050313X231204195","first-page":"63","volume-title":"Advanced trauma life support \u2013 student course manual","author":"American College of Surgeons","year":"2018","edition":"10"},{"key":"bibr2-2050313X231204195","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373-199709000-00008"},{"key":"bibr3-2050313X231204195","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0735-1097(91)90704-D"},{"key":"bibr4-2050313X231204195","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mem.2001.118224"},{"key":"bibr5-2050313X231204195","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajem.2018.11.004"},{"key":"bibr6-2050313X231204195","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13019-023-02146-z"},{"key":"bibr7-2050313X231204195","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/icvts\/ivs244"},{"key":"bibr8-2050313X231204195","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.297.16.1810"},{"key":"bibr9-2050313X231204195","unstructured":"Miller T, Salerno A, Slagle D, et al.
