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.

Chemical pleurodesis – a review of mechanisms involved in pleural space obliteration
Respiratory Research, 2019 Chemical pleurodesis is a therapeutic procedure applied to create the symphysis between the parietal and visceral pleura by intrapleural administration of various chemical agents (e.g. talk, tetracycline, iodopovidone, etc.).
