Intrapleural fibrinolytic therapy (IPFT) in loculated pleural effusions—analysis of predictors for failure of therapy and bleeding: a cohort study
OBJECTIVES To assess risk factors associated with failure and bleeding in intrapleural fibrinolytic therapy (IPFT) for pleural effusions. DESIGN Retrospective case series. SETTING Two tertiary-care centres in North America. PARTICIPANTS We identified 237 cases that received IPFT for the treatment of pleural effusions. Data for 227 patients were compiled including demographics, investigati...
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...

BACKGROUND Pleural fluid loculations due to complicated parapneumonic effusion (CPE), empyema, tubercular effusion and traumatic hemothorax can be managed either by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or intrapleural ibrinolytic therapy (IPFT). The former is more invasive, not easily available and is also more expensive. On the other hand, IPFT is less invasive, cheaper, easily accessi...

Background: Tuberculous, parapneumonic and traumatic loculated pleural-effusions pose therapeutic challenges due to resultant pleural-thickening and compromised lung-function for life. Tuberculosis is widely prevalent in developing countries, necessitating appropriate, effective, and economical treatment for loculated pleural-effusion to reduce the burden and sequelae. <s...
