Successful Treatment of Postoperative Chylothorax Using Bedside Talc Slurry Pleurodesis
Postoperative chylothorax remains an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication of various intrathoracic procedures, and the ideal management of this condition is still controversial. We report the treatment of four patients with chylothorax after thoracic surgical procedures during the year of 2010 and 2011. Instead of surgical intervention, their management had succeeded in bedsid...
متن کاملInfluence of particle size on extrapleural talc dissemination after talc slurry pleurodesis.
BACKGROUND Cases of acute respiratory failure reported after talc pleurodesis have raised concerns about its safety. It has been speculated that this pulmonary inflammatory syndrome is secondary to the extrapleural dissemination of the talc particles. STUDY OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis that particle size influences extrapleural talc deposition and pleural inflammation after talc slurry p...
متن کاملCombination therapy with intrapleural doxycycline and talc in reduced doses is effective in producing pleurodesis in rabbits.
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that talc and doxycycline might be acting through different pathways in creating pleurodesis. We hypothesized that combining doxycycline and talc in half the usual doses would be synergistic in inducing pleurodesis. METHODS Thirty-two rabbits were equally allocated into four groups: group 1, half-dose combination (5 mg/kg of doxycycline and 200 mg/kg of talc s...
متن کاملIntrapleural Fibrinolytic Therapy in Loculated Effusions
Loculated pleural effusions are most commonly due to complicated parapneumonic effusions and empyema followed by tubercular pleural effusions and empyema, hemothorax and malignant effusions. Loculations develop due to delayed initiation and inappropriate use of antibiotics and, delayed initiation of pleural space drainage. The presence of loculations and thick viscous fluid leads to failed pleu...
متن کاملPredictors of talc slurry pleurodesis success in patients with malignant pleural effusions.
INTRODUCTION Malignant pleural effusions are an important burden of malignant disease. Slurry talc pleurodesis remains one of the most common and effective therapeutic options. AIM Investigate the predictive factors related with the efficacy of this technique in malignant pleural effusions. METHODS Retrospective analysis of all pleurodesis performed during a 10-year period in a Pulmonology ...
