Impact of educational videos and user guide on indwelling pleural catheter caregiver training and unplanned healthcare encounters.

Background: Indwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) are an effective first line option for the management of symptomatic malignant pleural effusions. However, patients with IPCs often require unplanned healthcare encounters (UHEs) due to complications or concerns with IPC care and drainage.

Local Problem: There is a lack of readily accessible IPC-specific educational material to support caregiver training (CGT).
