Abstract: Pleural effusion (PLEFF), mostly caused by volume overload, congestive heart failure, and pleuropulmonary infection, is a common condition in critical care patients. Thoracic ultrasound (TUS) helps clinicians not only to visualize pleural effusion, but also to distinguish between the different types. Furthermore, TUS is essential during thoracentesis and chest tube drainage as it increases safety and decreases life-threatening complications. It is crucial not only during needle or tube drainage insertion, but … Show more

“…Lung US is routinely used in many ICUs around the world, having demonstrated optimal diagnostic value in several common ICU conditions, such as pneumothorax, interstitial syndrome, consolidations, pleural effusions, as well as diaphragmatic dysfunction . Interventional procedures can be also guided by lung US, such as draining pleural effusions and, eventually, lung abscesses …”

“…Pleural effusion (PLEFF) is common in the ICU, although the incidence varies according to the diagnostic technique being used (8% to 60%) [38]. However, its role in weaning failure has never been demonstrated-even though the amount of PLEFF is known to influence diaphragm force [39], but this has never been considered in the context of weaning.…”
