Pleural effusion, characterized by the accumulation of fluid between the parietal and visceral pleura, presents significant challenges in patient management, particularly in cases of malignant pleural effusion. Despite various therapeutic options, there is a need to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions specifically for pleural effusion patients, as current literature predominantly focuses on medical and surgical treatments. This comprehensive review aims to address this research gap by systematically analyzing the impact of physiotherapy on pleural effusion management, with a focus on symptom relief and improvement in quality of life. The objective is to determine the role of physiotherapy in reducing hospital stay and enhancing patient outcomes. Methodologically, this review synthesizes data from clinical studies and case reports that document physiotherapy interventions, such as breathing exercises, postural drainage, and mobilization techniques, in the treatment of pleural effusion. Our findings suggest that physiotherapy interventions can significantly alleviate dyspnoea and improve respiratory function, contributing to better overall patient outcomes. These results underscore the importance of incorporating physiotherapy into the standard care protocol for patients presenting with pleural effusion to optimize recovery and quality of life.

A dengue, uma arbovirose endêmica no Brasil, continua a representar um desafio significativo para os sistemas de saúde, especialmente para os Departamentos de Emergência, devido aos seus períodos sazonais de epidemias. A fisiopatologia da doença envolve um complexo processo inflamatório, que pode agravar com o aumento da permeabilidade capilar, o extravasamento plasmático e a hemoconcentração. O ultrassom point-of-care pode ser uma ferramenta valiosa, oferecendo uma série de vantagens, com sua alta sensibilidade para detectar acúmulos de líquidos em diferentes órgãos e cavidades, incluindo a vesícula biliar, além de sua crescente disponibilidade e seu baixo custo. Esse protocolo foi formado a partir de uma extensa revisão integrativa sobre o tema, associada à opinião de especialistas brasileiros sobre o assunto, e visa otimizar o atendimento ao paciente, fornecendo uma abordagem eficiente e direcionada para a avaliação e o monitoramento de complicações em casos suspeitos ou confirmados de dengue, particularmente em contextos de recursos limitados.

“…The presence of pleural effusion most often leads to a cytological examination to rule in or rule out malignancy, but first cytological evaluation implies a sensitivity of only 60% [ 51 ]. A systematic review and meta-analysis investigated whether thoracic ultrasound can identify and rule-in malignant pleural effusion (MPE) [ 52 ]. The ultrasound findings were not useful in the diagnostic work-up of suspected MPE; however, pleural nodularity in conjunction with pleural effusion could be used as a rule-in test for proceeding with repeated thoracocentesis or additional invasive procedures when malignant disease is suspected.…”

ERS International Congress 2020: highlights from the Clinical Techniques, Imaging and Endoscopy assembly

et al. 2021

The European Respiratory Society (ERS) congress in the year 2020, a year dominated by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, was the first virtual congress that was ever planned with an innovative and interactive congress programme upfront. It was a large, novel platform for scientific discussion and presentations of cutting-edge innovative developments. This manuscript summarises a selection of the scientific highlights from the “Clinical techniques, imaging and endoscopy” Assembly 14. In addition to presentations on the important role of bronchoscopy, imaging and ultrasound techniques in the field of SARS-CoV-2 infection, novel diagnostic approaches and innovative therapeutic strategies in patients with lung cancer, interstitial lung disease, obstructive airway disorders and infectious diseases were also discussed.
