Abstract
Pleural effusion is frequently encountered in patients who are mechanically ventilated in the intensive care unit and may be logically suspected in case of difficult weaning from mechanical ventilation. Through several mechanisms, pleural effusion may impair gas exchange, respiratory mechanics, and ventilation/perfusion matching. However, data exploring the respective contribution of pleural effusion on weaning failure are scarce. This review discusses the most recent findings pertaining to the potential role of pleural effusion in weaning outcome.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Pulmonary Medicine provides a forum for the discussion of important new knowledge in the field of pulmonary medicine that is of interest and relevance to the practitioner. This goal is achieved through mini-reviews on focused sub-specialty topics in areas covered within the journal. These areas include: Obstructive Airways Disease; Respiratory Infections; Interstitial, Inflammatory, and Occupational Diseases; Clinical Practice Management; Critical Care/Respiratory Care; Colleagues in Respiratory Medicine; and Topics in Respiratory Medicine.
