Increased work of breathing and its relationship to dyspnea in malignant pleural effusion [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology
ObjectivesAlthough dyspnea is the most common symptom of pleural effusion (PE), its physiological basis has not yet been fully elucidated. The aim of this work is to investigate the cause of dyspnea before therapeutic thoracentesis (TT) by analyzing the ...

Can We Use Simple Radiographic Measurements to Predict Need for Intervention in Neonatal Pneumothorax? [PDF]

Children
Background: Pneumothorax (PTX) develops in 1–2% of neonates, leading to significant morbidity and mortality and requiring providers to be comfortable with management. Our objective was to evaluate whether radiographic measurements of PTX size can be used

Trapped Lung and Pneumothorax Ex Vacuo. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Trapped lung and pneumothorax ex vacuo occur due to failure of lungs to re‐expand after drainage of a large pleural effusion. Asymptomatic patients can be observed while symptomatic patients may need surgical decortication. Iatrogenic pneumothorax results from introduction of air into the pleural space and usually requires chest tube placement.

Thoracentesis [PDF]

PLEURA, 2016
Pleural effusions are common and account for high morbidity and mortality in a range of patients. Thoracentesis can provide significant symptom relief and improvement in physiologic parameters including dyspnea, exercise, and sleep. Recent advances, including the use of ultrasound and dedicated procedural teams, have improved the safety of ...

Prediction of Time to Next Therapeutic Thoracentesis and Identification of Risk Factors of Rapid Pleural Fluid Recurrence: A Prospective Observational Study

Respiration, 2023
Background: The value of pre-booked repeated thoracentesis in patients with recurrent pleural effusion is reliant on the estimation of time to next drainage.

Subcutaneous and muscle layer seroma complicated with thoracentesis

Respirology Case Reports, 2023
Key message Diagnostic thoracentesis is a basic and relatively safe diagnostic method for patients with pleural effusion. However, complications of thoracentesis are rare and not well known because of the low incidence.

A feasibility randomised trial comparing therapeutic thoracentesis to chest tube insertion for the management of pleural infection: results from the ACTion trial

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022
Background Pleural infection is a complex condition with a considerable healthcare burden. The average hospital stay for pleural infection is 14 days. Current standard of care defaults to chest tube insertion and intravenous antibiotics.

Not Always (and Only) Heart Failure—A Case Report of Primary Pleural Lymphoma in an Elderly Patient

Clinics and Practice, 2021
Pleural involvement in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) is well documented, but primary pleural lymphomas are extremely rare, occurring mostly in immunosuppressed patients or associated with chronic pleural inflammation.
