Dynamic and volumetric variables reliably predict fluid responsiveness in a porcine model with pleural effusion [PDF]

, 2013
Background: The ability of stroke volume variation (SVV), pulse pressure variation (PPV) and global end-diastolic volume (GEDV) for prediction of fluid responsiveness in presence of pleural effusion is unknown.

Pleural fluid investigations for pleural infections

Journal of Laboratory and Precision Medicine, 2021
Over 1.5 million patients are admitted to hospital with pneumonia in the United States each year. Up to 50% of them can develop a parapneumonic effusion which is associated with higher mortality. The incidence of pleural infection continues to rise, particularly in the elderly and those with comorbidities.
