What is Pleural Effusion: Causes & Management about?
Pleural effusion is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pleural space, leading to symptoms like dyspnea, chest pain, and cough. Management includes assessing respiratory status, administering medications such as diuretics and antibiotics, and providing supportive care. The prognosis varies based on the underlying cause, with transudative effusions generally having a better outlook than exudative effusions from infections or malignancies.
