Ultrasound estimation of volume of pleural fluid in mechanically ventilated patients
Original language description
The aim was to develop a practical method for estimation of the volume of pleural effusion using ultrasonography in mechanically ventilated patients. Setting:20-bed general intensive care unit in the university hospital. Patients and participants: 81 patients were included after initial suspicion of pleural fluid on chest supine X-ray and pre-puncture ultrasound confirming effusion. Patients with thoracic deformities, post-lung surgery, with diaphragm pathology, haemothorax, empyema and with incompleteaspiration of pleural fluid on post-puncture ultrasound were excluded. Interventions:Patients were supine with mild trunk elevation at 15 degrees. Probe was moved upwards in posterior axillary line, and transverse section perpendicular to the body axis was obtained with pleural separation visible at lung base. The maximal distance between parietal and visceral pleura (Sep) in end-expiration was recorded. Thoracentesis was performed at previous probe position and volume of pleural fluid (
