Pleural manometry during thoracocentesis in patients with malignant pleural effusion: A randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Respiratory Therapy, 2023 Background: Large-volume therapeutic thoracocentesis may be associated with pulmonary congestion or a more serious complication; re-expansion pulmonary edema (RPE). We investigated whether monitoring pleural pressure with manometry during thoracocentesis
