Outcomes of Thoracentesis for Acute Heart Failure in Hospitals.

American Journal of Cardiology, 2020
Data on in-hospital outcomes for hospitalizations undergoing thoracentesis (THR) for any cause has been conflicting. For hospitalizations with acute heart failure (HF), however, to date, no study has evaluated the outcomes of THR.

Ultrasound and Thoracentesis

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1977
To the Editor. — A recent article, "Thoracentesis Under Fluoroscopic Control" by Collins et al (237:2751-2752, 1977), describes a method of obtaining pleural fluid when a small amount is present and when it may be difficult to find by other methods. When suitable ultrasonic diagnostic equipment is present, radiation exposure both to the patient and ...

The Impact of Gravity versus Suction-driven Therapeutic Thoracentesis on Pressure-related Complications: the GRAVITAS Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.

Chest, 2019
BACKGROUND Thoracentesis can be accomplished by active aspiration or drainage with gravity. We investigated whether gravity drainage could protect against negative-pressure related complications, such as chest discomfort, re-expansion pulmonary edema or ...

Hemothorax after Thoracentesis

New England Journal of Medicine, 2016
A 65-year-old woman with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and renal failure was hospitalized for acute respiratory failure and bilateral pleural effusions. To rule out empyema, thoracentesis was performed. Hemothorax developed shortly after the procedure.

Low-cost thoracentesis simulation for nurse practitioner students.

Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, 2020
The fast-paced hospital setting is not routinely a conducive environment for practicing procedural skills. Simulation learning can provide an opportunity for learners to achieve accuracy, confidence, and competence when performing the thoracentesis ...

Ultrasound Evaluation of Hemidiaphragm Function Following Thoracentesis

Journal of Bronchology & Interventional Pulmonology, 2019
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Background: Dyspnea is the major symptom caused by pleural effusion. The pathophysiological pathways leading to dyspnea are poorly understood. Dysfunction of respiratory mechanics may be a factor. We

Ensuring Basic Competence in Thoracentesis

Respiration, 2019
Background: Trocar pigtail catheter thoracentesis (TPCT) is a common procedure often performed by junior physicians. Simulation-based training may effectively train physicians in the procedure prior to performing it on patients.
