Pleural Diseases (Pleural Effusion/ Pneumothorax)

Respiratory MedicineCardio Thoracic Surgery

Diagnosis involves imaging tests like X-rays and ultrasound, followed by fluid sampling or biopsy if indicated. Treatment options aim to address the underlying cause but often involve draining the fluid through thoracentesis. Pneumothorax, on the other hand, is the presence of air in the pleural space. It can cause sudden chest pain, difficulty breathing, and a collapsed lung. Diagnosis is done using chest X-rays or CT scans, and treatment varies depending on the severity.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis methods for Pleural Diseases: 

Chest X-rayX-rays can detect abnormalities in the lungs, and doctors will observe the location of any shadows in the lungs.
Computerized Tomography (CT) ScanThis technique uses X-ray radiation and contrast imaging to depict the condition of the lungs. Computer analysis of the images assists doctors in diagnosing lung conditions.

Treatment

Pleural drainage is a crucial part of managing these conditions. It involves inserting a small tube into the pleural space to drain excess fluid or air. This procedure, performed under local anesthesia and guided by imaging, helps alleviate symptoms and improve lung function. In some cases when the problem is proven to be recurrent, an indwelling pleural catheter may be inserted for long term management.
