This was a *CRAZY* busy week. I must have done 900 thoracenteses this week, so I had some questions about pleural effusions and their effect on dyspnea based on things I observed. Here are my take aways. #MedTwitter #MedEd #PulmCrit #FellowLife 1/ I felt like a hero - swooped in, did a thoracentesis, drained 1.5L... and her breathing didn't get better. I was like... 😕wtf. It turns out size of pleural effusion correlates poorly with dyspnea. This holds true for reduction in symptoms after thoracentesis.
