Answers:
The term cardiac tamponade means an accumulation of fluid in the pericardium which is the sac in which the heart sits!.

The pressure of the fluid (in this case blood) filling the space puts a pressure on the heart preventing it from functioning to the point where it will be unable to function at all!.

The organs likely to have been punctured would be the heart and or possibly the lung!.

Hope this helps!.

The length of the knife is relevant and depending on the angle of attack would certainly make a difference on the organs affected!.
