Funded Activity Summary

Pleural effusions (PE) are collections of fluid around the lung. They are common in patients in intensive care (ICU) and in patients with metastatic cancer. Some pleural effusions resolve with medications, others require drainage procedures which have risks including lung damage, bleeding or infection which can be dangerous, especially in critically ill (ICU) patients. This proposal aims to optimise treatment decisions for PE in the ICU and cancer settings.
