Pericardial Effusion

Cardiology Clinics, 2017
The normal pericardial sac contains up to 50 mL of fluid, which consists of a plasma ultrafiltrate. Anything greater constitutes a pathologic effusion. The curvilinear pressure-volume relationship of the pericardial sac dictates hemodynamic consequences of a pericardial effusion and is responsible for rapidly accumulating fluid that causes cardiac ...

Transudative effusions

European Respiratory Journal, 1997
Transudative pleural effusions develop because the distribution of hydrostatic and oncotic pressure across the pleura is altered, so that the rate of pleural fluid formation exceeds that of its reabsorption. They are characterized by a low cell and protein content. Congestive heart failure is the most common cause of transudative effusion.

Parapneumonic effusions

The American Journal of Medicine, 1980
In this study the incidence and course of pleural effusions (parapneumonic effusions) in patients with acute bacterial pneumonia were prospectively evaluated. Bilateral decubitus chest x-ray films were obtained within 72 hours of admission in 203 patients with an acute febrile illness, purulent sputum and an infiltrate evident on the chest film. Ninety

Pleural effusions

Current Opinion in Oncology, 1992
Pleural effusions are a common development in patients with cancer. The optimal means of control are not defined, but systemic treatment is often effective in patients with drug-sensitive tumors. Local treatments advocated in the management of malignant pleural effusions differ in the means of drainage, the length of time pleural tubes are left in situ,

Pleural Effusions

Pediatric Emergency Care, 2007
The ability to recognize, understand, and treat pleural effusions in the pediatric population is important for pediatric health care providers. The topic of pleural effusions has been extensively studied in the adult population. In recent years, these studies have extended into the pediatric population. This review describes pleural effusions in detail,

Postpartum pleural effusion

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1988
Summary. A prospective ultrasound study investigated the reportedly high frequency of asymptomatic pleural effusions in the early post‐partum period. The pleural space of 50 women within 1–45 h of delivery was scanned with a real‐time sector scanner. Only one woman had a pleural effusion.
