Pleural effusion diagnosis and treatment | Respiratory system diseases | NCLEX-RN | Khan Academy
How do we know a patient has a pleural effusion? Health professionals use x-rays, and computed tomography (CT scans) to look for extra fluid inside the body. Learn how pleural effusions are treated using techniques such as a thoracentesis, pleurodesis, and pleuroperitoneal shunts. Created by Jannah George.

Very Helpful, as I am currently experiencing the awful pleurisy pain and I am probably going to need Thoracentisis myself...learned a lot Thanks!
I was in the hospital for about a month, had tubes and all, it was horrific. I had my lung scraped. It wasn’t good, grateful I made it.

Hi how did you cure it? my sister has same as this kind of, she has a tube in her lung is this curable?is there a midicine to take?
thank you, very well explained!!!
THANKS A LOT!!!!!!!! God bless you!!! That video really helped me as a med. student!! Keep on sharing!!!!
Thank you. This is the most informative video on pleurisy I have seen yet. I hadpleurisy years ago and now I got it again, due to biking and camping in in cool wet weather for 3 weeks. little by little it's improving. I 1st got it 30 years ago from being out in severe winter weather, -10F. I went to Florida for 4 years and that heat cured it. I find alternating rest and exercise with applied heat is a good treatment. AS long as I don't get too exposed to cold I'm good.
I save more time watching the vidoes, so thank you for uploading this lecture.
Much needed! Thank you...

Empyema is an infection of the pleural effusion content. Pneumonia is an infection of the lung itself. So, it's basically different places of infection.

Sir is my medicine will be working for this situation.. Please answer my question
Saya menderita kanker paru-paru (NSCLC ). Dalam 2 bulan, tindakan yang dilakukan dokter yaitu PUNGSI 3 kali (1,5 liter, 2 liter, 2,5 liter) . sudah 1 bulan minum obat kanker (GENESSA tablet 1kali sehari). Pertanyaan:perawata di rumah apa saja dan gizi yg di butuhkan apa saja supaya berat badan normal.
Damn. I'm wondering if a pleural effusion can be caused by very-hard coughing as associated with asthma and/or COPD. And, is thoracentesis always required for elimination of the fluid? Can they not instead administer a powerful diuretic like Lasix instead?
@DazMcK

No to questions one and two, yes to question three, although only in smaller effusions based on clinical judgement. You can't just toss diuretic at people and expect it to only act on exactly where you'd like it to act
Once treated and drained, what needs to be done (if anything) to monitor it in the future?

Once drained they will find the cause of it and focus on curing the main disease

My friend has had this fluid removed and due to poor facilities in Zambia they can't seem to know the cause or the source. How can I help him?

Usually after a plueral effusion has been drained the fluiid is analized by a patholigist! It could be one of many causes! Pnuemonia,heart issue, cancer, inflamation!
You can get pain in the lung and nothing will show but if you start to get fluid build up it will show on an xray, I went to hospital a few days back In pain and was certain my xray would show something but it was fine, almost felt I was telling porkies to the nurse.
They dont care wont give you 2hat u need for you and your family
Why is on your side xray important?
