Indwelling pleural catheters for malignant pleural effusion

International Journal of Palliative Nursing, 2015
Pleural effusions are a common cause of symptoms in patients with malignancy and can adversely affect quality of life. However, not all effusions in the setting of malignancy are due to the cancer itself and therefore it is essential to perform an extensive assessment to diagnose the underlying aetiology.

Indwelling Pleural Catheter Placement for Nonmalignant Pleural Effusions

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2018
AbstractPleural effusions account for significant symptoms and morbidity. Recent studies demonstrate a high mortality in patients with “benign” pleural effusions, now better characterized as nonmalignant pleural effusions (NMPEs) based on their prognosis.

Catheter Tract Metastasis Associated With Indwelling Pleural Catheters

Chest, 2014
Indwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) are commonly used to manage malignant effusions. Tumor spread along the catheter tract remains a clinical concern for which limited data exist. We report the largest series of IPC-related catheter tract metastases (CTMs) to date, to our knowledge.This is a single-center, retrospective review of IPCs inserted over a ...

Indwelling pleural catheters for benign pleural effusions

Current Respiratory Care Reports, 2014
Indwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) have an established role in the management of recurrent pleural effusions due to malignancy. They are typically used in patients with trapped lung, those who have previously failed an attempted talc pleurodesis, or as first-line therapy. Experience of, and evidence for, IPC use in this setting is well established. In

Use of Indwelling Pleural Catheters for Cardiogenic Pleural Effusions

Chest, 2013
Cardiogenic pleural effusions are rarely refractory to treatment of the underlying disease. Few options are available in these cases. Indwelling pleural catheter (IPC) insertion has been well described for the management of malignant pleural effusions.
