Pleural pressure pulse in patients with pleural effusion: A new phenomenon registered during thoracentesis with pleural manometry

Pleural manometry enables the assessment of physiological abnormalities of lung mechanics associated with pleural effusion. Applying pleural manometry, we found small pleural pressure curve oscillations resembling the pulse tracing line. The aim of our study was to characterize the oscillations of p...
