The incidence of pleural disease is increasing, and interventions are crucial in this subspecialist area of respiratory medicine. One of the cornerstones of pleural effusion investigation and management is medical, which is also known as local anaesthetic thoracoscopy. This allows fluid drainage, biopsy for diagnosis and preventative measures for further fluid potential build-up. This article summarises the evidence around this procedure through a narrative review of the available evidence.
胸膜疾病的发病率正在上升,在呼吸医学的这个亚专业领域,干预措施至关重要。胸腔积液检查和管理的基石之一是内科治疗,也称为局部麻醉胸腔镜检查。这可以进行液体引流、活检以进行诊断,并采取预防措施以防止进一步的液体蓄积。本文通过对现有证据的叙述性综述总结了围绕该手术的证据。
