Iterative Thoracentesis as First-Line Treatment of Complicated Parapneumonic Effusion
RATIONALE Optimal management of complicated parapneumonic effusions (CPPE) remains controversial. OBJECTIVES to assess safety and efficacy of iterative therapeutic thoracentesis (ITTC), the first-line treatment of CPPE in Rennes University Hospital. METHODS Patients with CPPE were identified through our computerized database. We retrospectively studied all cases of CPPE initially managed wi...
متن کاملComputed tomography measurements of parapneumonic effusion indicative of thoracentesis.
Patients with parapneumonic effusions (PPE) measuring <1 cm by lateral decubitus radiograph (LDR) or <5 cm by lateral erect radiograph (LER) do not require thoracentesis. No such data exist for chest computed tomography (CCT). The objective of this study was to identify a PPE measurement by CCT that indicates the need for thoracentesis. A secondary data analysis of two pneumonia databases was c...

متن کاملNotes on the Position of the Fluid in Cases of Pleuritic Effusion
If fluid be effused into any of the large serous cavities, such as the pleural, pericardial, or peritoneal, it is obvious that it must produce some alteration in the anatomical relations of the neighbouring structures. The situations in which the fluid will tend to collect, and the nature and extent of the displacement of the neighbouring organs, are points of considerable practical importance,...
