Fluid Agitation Microbiologic Yield In Pleural Infection Feasibility Study

NCT05702580 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2024-07-23

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this study is to compare the microbiologic diagnostic yield of pre-aspiration agitated pleural fluid versus that of conventionally aspirated fluid in pleural infection patients. The main question it aims to answer is, whether fluid agitation helps to increase the microbiological yield.

Conditions

  • Pleural Infection

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Agitated Pleural Fluid Thoracentesis

Using a 16-18 gauge cannula, a standard thoracentesis will be performed then a sample of pleural fluid will be aspirated and rapidly flushed into the pleural space and redrawn again for a few cycles before a sample is finally drawn into the collection syringe
