Article Synopsis
- Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is difficult to treat, and while talc pleurodesis is a popular method, there's no consensus on the best way to deliver the talc, leading to varying practices.
- * This study aimed to determine if talc poudrage delivered during thoracoscopy with local anesthesia was more effective than talc slurry via chest tube for inducing pleurodesis.
- * Conducted across 17 UK hospitals, the trial involved 330 participants who were followed for various outcomes, including pleurodesis failure, hospital stay duration, and quality of life indicators.
