Summary

Primary Aims:

To compare the performance of pigtail catheter to that of ICT in drainage of pleural effusion of medical aetiology regarding:

1. Various complications(mainly wound pain) that result from either therapeutic approach.
2. Success of complete drainage.
3. Compare the duration needed for complete drainage.

Secondary Aims:

To evaluate both techniques in terms of:

1. Degree of patient's mobility that either technique permits.
2. Percentage of patients that can be managed on outpatient settings by either approach

Conditions

  • Pleural Effusion

Interventions

DEVICE

Pigtail catheter

Pigtail catheter will be inserted using Seldinger technique under US guidance to drainage exudative pleural effusion by a trained radiologist

DEVICE
