Abstract
The most common causes of pleural effusion include cardiac failure, pneumonia, malignancy, and pulmonary embolism (PE). The priority is to make a diagnosis and relieve symptoms while keeping the number of invasive procedures to a minimum. The majority of patients do not require a chest drain and can be managed as outpatients. Procedures, such as therapeutic thoracentesis, may be performed readily on a day unit.
