Serious complications with talc slurry pleurodesis

Respirology, 2001
Talc is a highly efficacious and commonly employed agent for chemical pleurodesis, which has generally been felt to be well tolerated. However, increasing reports of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have heightened safety concerns. A recent case of ARDS prompted us to review our experience with talc pleurodesis.We conducted a retrospective ...

Talc pleurodesis: Talc slurry versus thoracoscopic talc insufflation in a porcine model

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1996
Pleurodesis using both talc slurry and thoracoscopic talc insufflation has been shown to be clinically effective. This study compares these two modalities of pleural talc instillation in an animal model.Eleven immature pigs underwent general endotracheal anesthesia. On one side, a slurry of 5 g sterile United States Pharmacopeia talc in 50 mL of saline

Thoracoscopic Talc Insufflation Versus Talc Slurry for Symptomatic Malignant Pleural Effusion

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1996
Talc has been generally accepted to be the most effective sclerosant for chemical pleurodesis, although the optimal route of administration remains unclear.We designed a prospective, randomized study to compare video-assisted thoracoscopic talc insufflation with bedside talc slurry in the treatment of malignant pleural effusion.

Talc Slurry Is an Effective Pleural Sclerosant in Rabbits

Chest, 1995
Insufflated talc is probably the most effective agent for creating a pleurodesis both in the clinical situation and in animals. However, the insufflation of talc requires an invasive procedure such as thoracoscopy or thoracotomy. Recently, there have been reports that talc in a slurry was effective in the clinical situation.

Successful Talc Slurry Pleurodesis in Patients With Nonmalignant Pleural Effusion

Chest, 2000
Chemical pleurodesis is an effective treatment for malignant pleural effusion and pneumothorax. This mode of therapy is, however, less widely accepted in the treatment of patients with refractory benign or undiagnosed pleural effusion.To analyze the outcome of talc slurry pleurodesis in patients with nonmalignant pleural effusions.Retrospective and ...

Efficacy of talc slurry pleurodesis in malignant pleural effusions

11.2 Pleural and Mediastinal Malignancies, 2015
Background: Malignant pleural effusions are an important burden of malignant disease. Slurry talc pleurodesis remains one of the most common and effective therapeutic options. Aim: To investigate the predictive factors related with the efficacy of this technique in malignant pleural effusions.

A Comparison of Thoracoscopic Talc Insufflation, Slurry, and Mechanical Abrasion Pleurodesis

Chest, 1997
The purpose of this study was to compare the anatomic and histopathologic results of four different methods of pleurodesis in 10 dogs. Each animal was randomly assigned to receive two of the following methods of pleurodesis: thoracoscopic talc insufflation (poudrage), talc slurry administration, focal gauze abrasion by limited thoracotomy, and ...

Success rates of talc slurry pleurodesis - A 2 years review

1.13 Clinical Problems - Other, 2015
Background: Approximately 50% of patients with metastatic malignancy develop a pleural effusion. Talc pleurodesis (TP) is currently first line treatment; trials have shown Tunnelled Indwelling Pleural Catheters (TIPC) have similar symptomatic benefit. We noticed that on this pleural unit in a large teaching hospital pleural effusions due to breast and

Outcomes of the management of malignant pleural effusions with talc poudrage or talc slurry following medical thoracoscopy

11.2 Pleural and Mediastinal Malignancies, 2015
Background: Aintree Chest Centre has an established medical thoracoscopy (MT) service. Over recent years some cases have been managed with talc poudrage (TP) and others with talc slurry (TS) via the chest drain once histology is available. We were interested in the efficacy of talc poudrage compared to talc slurry following MT and also talc slurry via

Silver Nitrate Is Superior to Talc Slurry in Producing Pleurodesis in Rabbits

Chest, 2000
The ideal agent for producing pleurodesis has not been identified. Although talc is the agent most commonly used at the present time, there are concerns about its safety. Silver nitrate is a possible alternative agent. The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of intrapleural silver nitrate and talc slurry in producing ...
