Abstrakt: Given the rarity of emergency pericardiocentesis, deliberate effort must be made by the physician to maintain competence in performing this procedure. Herein we describe the construction of a low‐cost, reusable, high‐fidelity simulation model for ultrasound‐guided pericardiocentesis. Sixteen emergency medicine residents participated in a procedure lab using the model and then evaluated the model's efficacy using a survey. Results of this survey found that most participants believed that the model was easy to use and that it increased their competency. There was also a significant increase in self‐reported Likert‐rated confidence in performing pericardiocentesis before and after simulation (1.63 to 3.81; P< .001).
