Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Pericardiocentesis
Pericardial fluid drained by simple echo-guided pericardiocentesis
No interventions assigned to this group
Extended pericardial drainage
Extended pericardial drainage will include pericardiocentesis followed by an intermittent pericardial catheter drainage. Pericardial drainage will be kept till daily fluid return\<30ml
Extended pericardial drainage by catheter
Extended pericardial drainage will be done after pericardiocentesis by the insertion of a catheter to intermittently drain pericardial fluid till daily fluid return\<30 ml.
