JAAPA, 06/05/09
Schrader JM et al. - The case patients with recurrent pleural effusions discussed in this article were candidates for an IPC. An IPC is a preferred option for the treatment of recurrent pleural effusions. PAs should be aware of this option for patients who present with a pleural effusion. Pleural catheters can be used to treat benign recurrent effusions or trapped lung in patients who are not candidates for surgical intervention and patients with recurrent effusions secondary to malignancy. IPCs provide an alternative to surgical intervention. They have good patient satisfaction, eliminate prolonged hospital stays, and are cost effective.
