“…Lower lung volume due to pleural effusion is not the only factor that causes dyspnoea, as only a very small increase in lung function is seen after thoracocentesis. One trial presented on the ERS International Congress 2019 evaluated diaphragm function prior to and following thoracocentesis in order to explore movement of the diaphragm in dyspnoeic patients with pleural effusion [ 62 ]. A midaxillary scan position in conventional B-mode (instead of M-mode, which is most often used for measuring diaphragm function) showed a significant increase in movement after thoracocentesis to a level corresponding to the healthy side.…”

This manuscript summarises the highlights from Assembly 14, “Clinical techniques, imaging and endoscopy”, which were presented at the 2019 European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress in Madrid, Spain. Novel diagnostic approaches and innovative therapeutic strategies in patients with lung cancer, interstitial lung disease, obstructive airway disorders and infectious diseases are discussed. The authors from the different Assembly 14 subgroups focus on the key take-home messages given new study results, and place them in the context of current knowledge in these areas.At the 2019 ERS International Congress, encouraging results of numerous trials in the field of interventional pulmonology, imaging and ultrasound were presented. Key topics included novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in patients with lung cancer, interstitial lung disease, obstructive airway disorders and infectious diseases.
