Clinical Trial: Predictive Role of Lung Ultrasound in Re-Expansion Pulmonary Edema During Thoracocentesis

U.S., Oct. 16 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07875764) titled 'Predictive Role of Lung Ultrasound in Re-Expansion Pulmonary Edema During Thoracocentesis' on Oct. 04.

Brief Summary: This study evaluates the feasibility, safety, and predictive role of dynamic bedside Lung Ultrasound (LUS) during therapeutic thoracocentesis in patients with moderate-to-massive pleural effusions. Re-expansion pulmonary edema (RPE) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of rapid pleural fluid drainage. In this single-arm pilot study, participants undergo therapeutic thoracocentesis guided by serial LUS assessments performed at predefined drainage volume milestones (T0: baseline, T1: 500 mL, T2: 1000...
