Respiratory Variations of Central Venous Pressure as Indices of Pleural Pressure Swings: A Narrative Review [PDF]
Diagnostics, 2023 The measurement of pleural (or intrathoracic) pressure is a key element for a proper setting of mechanical ventilator assistance as both under- and over-assistance may cause detrimental effects on both the lungs and the diaphragm.

Pleural Pressure Pulse in Patients with Pleural Effusion: A New Phenomenon Registered during Thoracentesis with Pleural Manometry. [PDF]
J Clin Med, 2020 Pleural manometry enables the assessment of physiological abnormalities of lung mechanics associated with pleural effusion. Applying pleural manometry, we found small pleural pressure curve oscillations resembling the pulse tracing line.

Oesophageal pressure as a surrogate of pleural pressure in mechanically ventilated patients [PDF]
ERJ Open Research, 2021 Background Oesophageal pressure (Poes) is used to approximate pleural pressure (Ppl) and therefore to estimate transpulmonary pressure (PL). We aimed to compare oesophageal and regional pleural pressures and to calculate transpulmonary pressures in a ...

Patterns of pleural pressure amplitude and respiratory rate changes during therapeutic thoracentesis [PDF]
BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2018 Background Although the impact of therapeutic thoracentesis on lung function and blood gases has been evaluated in several studies, some physiological aspects of pleural fluid withdrawal remain unknown.

Simultaneous bilateral hemorrhagic pleural effusion and hemorrhagic ascites during percutaneous nephrolithotomy: a case report [PDF]
Frontiers in MedicineBackgroundPercutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) may cause severe thoracic and abdominal complications. Because their onset can be insidious and their intraoperative manifestations atypical, recognition may be delayed.

Intraoperative Ventilatory Collapse from Negative Pleural Suction in a Ruptured Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst [PDF]
Annals of Cardiac AnaesthesiaA 52-year-old male with a ruptured right hydatid cyst underwent thoracotomy and cyst excision. After repair of diffuse parenchymal air leaks, application of negative pleural suction caused sudden ventilatory collapse with refractory hypotension ...

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
