Role of chest ultrasound in detecting successful pleurodesis

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2017
Background: Thoracic ultrasonography easily detects the sign of ‘pleural sliding’, due to the movement of the visceral pleura on the parietal pleura. This sign is absent when pleurodesis is successful.

Determination of In Vivo efficacy and safety of zeolite as a new pleurodesis agent

Toxicology Reports, 2022
Pleural effusion, the pathological condition in which an abnormal amount of pleural fluid is accumulated in the small space between the visceral and parietal pleurae of the lungs, can be treated by pleurodesis, whereby the pleural space is obliterated ...

Intrapleural Steroid Therapy for Recurrent Malignant Pleural Effusion: A Case Report. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a common complication in advanced cancer, often causing significant dyspnea. We present a case of a 57‐year‐old woman with recurrent MPE who was managed with intrapleural triamcinolone acetate. The intervention delayed fluid reaccumulation by 15 days and improved her symptoms and functional status, with no ...

Clinical outcomes of chemical pleurodesis using a minocycline

Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 2019
Background: Pleurodesis is often used to prevent the re-accumulation of a malignant pleural effusion (MPE). Intrapleural urokinase (IPUK) therapy facilitates lung re-expansion for patients with loculated MPE or a trapped lung that allows subsequent ...

Comparison of efficacy of autologous blood patch pleurodesis versus doxycycline pleurodesis in the management of persistent air leak in patients with secondary spontaneous pneumothorax. A randomized control trial

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2022
Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) patients sometimes have a persistent air leak (PAL) that leads to increased morbidity and increased hospital stay. Further, these patients also need pleurodesis to prevent a recurrence.
