Conservative management of bronchopulmonary artery perforation without associated haemothorax occurring at thoracentesis: a case report

, 2010
Puncture or laceration of the pulmonary, intercostal, or peripheral vessels is an uncommon, but potentially life-threatening, complication of thoracentesis, which has been reported to result in severe haemothorax in 75% of patients.

Mortality Following Catheter Drainage Versus Thoracentesis in Cirrhotic Patients with Pleural Effusion

, 2017
Pleural effusion is an abnormal collection of body fluids that may cause related morbidity or mortality in cirrhotic patients. There are insufficient data to determine the optimal method of drainage, for symptomatic relief in cirrhotic patients with ...

Electrical impedance measured changes in thoracic fluid content during thoracentesis

, 1994
In patients (seven females and 11 males) with pleural effusion due to pulmonary (n = 13) or cardiac disease (n = 5) the change in baseline transthoracic impedance (Z0) was measured by electrical impedance (BoMed's NCCOM-3, 70 kHz) during thoracentesis ...

The effect of thoracentesis on lung function and transthoracic electrical bioimpedance

, 1999
This study aimed to determine the relationship between improvement in lung function and changes in transthoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) after thoracentesis in patients with pleural effusions.Fifteen patients with pleural effusions due to either ...

The Heimlich Valve for Pleural Cavity Drainage​

The Annals of African Surgery, 2016
Introduction: Traditional chest tube fixation and drainage has been undertaken using standard rigid chest tubes connected to under water seal bottles. These are bulky, cumbersome, expensive, and pose a risk of accidental air suction into the chest.

Pleural fluid characteristics of patients with COVID‐19 infection

The Clinical Respiratory Journal
Introduction Pleural effusions are known to occur in many cases of COVID‐19. Data on typical characteristics of COVID‐19‐associated pleural effusions are limited. The goal of this project was to characterize the pleural fluid from patients with COVID‐19.

The Outcome of Thoracentesis versus Chest Tube Placement for Hepatic Hydrothorax in Patients with Cirrhosis: A Nationwide Analysis of the National Inpatient Sample

, 2018
There are only a few studies with a small sample size of patients that have compared the risks of using chest tubes versus thoracentesis in hepatic hydrothorax.
