摘　　要：Pericardial hematoma is a rare but potentially lifethreatening consequence following cardiac surgery that requires prompt recognition and intervention.Patients can present with symptoms such as chest pain,dyspnea,tachycardia,and hypotension,which may mimic other post-operative issues.Loculated pericardial hematoma compressing the atria might be difficult to diagnose.Bleeding and hematoma are more common in patients receiving early anticoagulant therapy.A focused cardiac ultrasound (Fo CUS) plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis,revealing the presence of pericardial effusion and signs of cardiac compression.The aim of this report was to provide a prompt diagnosis of loculated pericardial hematoma via Fo CUS in the emergency department (ED).
