Sal, yes - I meant occult pericardial effusion/hemopericardium. Finding that
can direct one to suspect the unexpected. Had a case like that a little
while back. I need to stay off my computer unless I've had sleep or am
sober....

how does CT diagnose an occult pericardial tamponade. Hard for me to see
the 
small amount of blood that results in tamponade
 
I am unclear about what an occult tamponade is. Do you mean an undiagnosed  
pericardial tamponade. ?

Do the  chest CT with blunt abdominal trauma. R/o diaphragm injury,  occult
pneumothorax, occult pericardial tamponade, ad  nauseum....
