Patterns of pleural pressure amplitude and respiratory rate changes during therapeutic thoracentesis

Patterns of pleural pressure amplitude and respiratory rate changes during therapeutic thoracentesis

Abstract Background Although the impact of therapeutic thoracentesis on lung function and blood gases has been evaluated in several studies, some physiological aspects of pleural fluid withdrawal remain unknown. The aim of the study was to assess the changes in pleural pressure amplitude (Pplampl) d...
