The right pleural effusion recurred 4 weeks later, and an indwelling pleural catheter (IPC) was placed. This chapter discusses pleural effusions due to cardiovascular diseases and the use of IPCs in nonmalignant diseases.Pleural Diseasesdoi:10.1016/B978-0-323-79541-8.00018-7Sorino Claudio...

Pleural effusion is excess fluid in the space surrounding the lungs. Common causes of pleural effusions include congestive heart failure, cancer, pulmonary embolism, and lung infections. Symptoms range in severity and include difficulty breathing. Pleural effusions are typically diagnosed based on symptoms...
1.Pleural effusions can be due to excess fluid collection, transudative and exudative, or due to blockage of lymphatic drainage. 胸腔积液是由于液体形成过快,分漏出性胸水与渗出性胸水,或者由于淋巴引流阻塞,液体吸收过缓。 2.Pleural effusions are fluid that collects at the costophrenic angle and caus...
Pleural effusions are a collection of fluid in the pleural space, the cavity surrounding the lungs. Typically, there is 10 mL of fluid in this space to lubricate the pleura, however when disrupted by diseases such as pneumonia, pulmonary embolisms, congestive heart failure, or cancer, fluid ...

Pleural effusion often develops as a result of chronic heart failure because the heart cannot pump fluid away from the lungs, and fluid that seeps from the lungs places additional stress on the dysfunctioning heart. Large pleural effusions can cause disabling shortness of breath. If symptoms of ...
Your doctor may need to treat only the medical condition that caused the pleural effusion. You would getantibioticsfor pneumonia, for instance, ordiureticsfor congestive heart failure. Large, infected, or inflamed pleural effusions often need to get drained to help you feel better and prevent more...
Pleural effusions are common in patients with congestive heart failure. However, there is a need to assess systematically the correlation between effusion volume, extravascular lung water and echocardiographic parameters. We used combined cardiopulmonary ultrasound to evaluate the relationship between effusion...
