POCUS, Case 1. Parasternal long-axis view of pericardial tamponade with a large circumferential pericardial effusion (*). The classic “swinging heart” was visualized in real-time ultrasonography. For orientation, the “emergency medicine” orientation was used for scanning. Structures visualized are: the left ventricle (LV), right ventricle (RV), left atrium (LA) and aortic outflow tract (Ao)
