Pleural drainage using central venous catheters
INTRODUCTION The objective of the present study was to evaluate the use of a single lumen 16 G central venous catheter for the drainage of uncomplicated pleural effusions in intensive care unit patients. METHODS A prospective observational study was performed in two intensive care units of university-affiliated hospitals. The study involved 10 intensive care unit patients with non-loculated l...
متن کاملPalliation and pleurodesis in malignant pleural effusion: the role for tunneled pleural catheters.
INTRODUCTION Despite increasing use of tunneled pleural catheters (TPCs), their efficacy as a definitive procedure for achieving palliation or spontaneous pleurodesis (SP) in the management of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) remains unclear. In the largest TPC series to date, we evaluate the efficacy for palliation and review the rate and predictors of SP. METHODS Retrospective review of 418...
متن کاملOutpatient management of malignant pleural effusions with small-bore, tunneled pleural catheters.
BACKGROUND Malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) can produce significant respiratory symptoms and diminished quality of life in patients with terminal malignancies. Control of MPEs to palliate respiratory symptoms can be performed via several different approaches. Ideally, a minimally invasive procedure to control MPEs and to provide relief of respiratory symptoms would be optimal. OBJECTIVE To ...
متن کاملThe impact of tunneled pleural catheters on the quality of life of patients with malignant pleural effusions.
BACKGROUND Tunneled pleural catheters (TPC) are used in the management of malignant pleural effusions (MPE), but the impact of this palliative procedure on patient quality of life (QoL) has not been well described. OBJECTIVES To ascertain the impact of TPCs on symptoms and QoL of patients with recurrent MPE. METHODS Patients with recurrent MPE completed the EORTC QLQ-C30 and LC13 QoL questi...
متن کاملBacteremia associated with tunneled, cuffed hemodialysis catheters.
Bacteremia is a frequent complication associated with tunneled, cuffed, permanent catheters (PCs). The incidence, spectrum of infecting organisms, and optimal treatment for catheter-associated bacteremia (CAB) have not been clearly established. In this study, 101 chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients with PCs for blood access were prospectively monitored for infection during a 24-month period. Dat...
