U have taught us in a very in a very interesting way.Can u please allow us to watch next videos on pleural effusion?
My pleurisy is in effect now... thats what brought me here...man the pain i jus want it too stop
@Candace McDougle Hope you feel better now I’ve got this it’s the worst birthday ever 😞😞😞😞
I too have been having this for 6 years on and off and my Doctors don't know what's causing it! I'm so done with the stabbing pain!
i really love you med cram !! i really do!
Good lecture, very interesting
Thanks so much. The lecture was a great refresher course. I think it might be beneficial to tell people that the pleural effusion is present in the pleural space, the 2 layers that surround the lung and chest cavity, were a small amount of fluid exists to allow the tissue layers to slide painlessly against each other.
Thanks. great video
that was great.. thank you so much!!!
great n welcome back
Thank u sir! from KSA
My mother was diagnosed with plueral effusion that's why I'm here to get some information.😢
that was great. thank you!!
+Noemi Rios Thank you for the comment
easy to grasp.. ty
Hello Medcram....could the fluid built up from cancer inside the lung and can the lung DR after
he drains the fluid go in the cavity, and roughen up the cavity to help it stick together so fluid
won’t build up again? Please let us know...please let us know...please let us know...PLEASE!!!!
Thank you!
Thank you. ....well done
What is the treatment for small pleural fluid remaining after thoracentesis which has thickened during TB treatment? Actually after 3 months of ATT.
Does thickening reduce with time or is surgery (VATS) an alternative??
thank you!!!
I suffered from pleural effusion when I was just 11 years old and my symptoms were high fever,loss of appetite,sharp pain in chest while jumping,laughing and deep breathing, as my pleural effusion was on my left chest doctor couldn't hear heart beat from my left chest,they told me to immediately hospitalized my self and they took the fluid out of my chest through needle tap and I was discharged by the third day and fit and fine.
Does it hurt? When they tap a needle
@@niktesla4432 nope! The doctor will just start asking you questions and he will try to distract you so you will not feel any pain 😉 but I've got a minor like 00.1% of pain
So don't get panic 😉
And important note if you have pleural effusion then immediatly rush to hospital it is not a small disease ☹️ as it was my first time to hospitalized so my parents and me were very anxious but it all done well as mentioned above
@@gamingboyharsh1924 aight thanks bruh im just worried coz It sneeze sometimes when I breath then after I drink hot water with lemon it disappears and all good. Bte thanks for thr information bruh keep safe
@@niktesla4432 i am not a doctor but it looks gerd but get in touch with your doctor as fast as you can
Thank you Dr for good knowledge.
Can we do sucking water by machine outside lungs in case of low Ejection Fraction of heart causing water around the lungs .
Brilliant!
Very nice video thanks sir
Great lecture, could you actually show real chest X-rays and how to read them
Once treatment done, is there any chances to get it again down the line...
How to possible treatment for in this case(pleural thinking)?
ive had this occur randomly since i was kid.. chest pain, lower left side awlays.. i can breathe but i tend to hold my breath or shorten them because it hurts to inhale.. the deeper i inhale the worse it gets.
I hold my breathe until it goes away it suck. happens less frequently now.. lasts about 45 sec to 3 mins or so
This happens to me to, but I got it fixed to make the pain lower and when I run I don’t really breath and I get pains in my left side. Mine also happens from 1-5 minutes.
thank u sir...
Can you also have coughing problems symptoms. I had a terrible pain in my back, so painful I had to lay on my back for hours for the intense pain to stop. I went to the doctor a couple weeks later and he looked at me side ways. The lady checking me in had never heard of it. I had lab work done but he didn't mention my Pleural problem. Great videos , I watched all three and diagram it also . So lets see what happens next. Ultra sound I hope..
pericarditis
So helpfull man
What it means by fibrolinear densities right upper lobe minimal pleural effusion thinkening bilateral doc thank you
What happens if the fluid is not drained off....I have had four thoracentisis procedures... and doc. will probly have to do another....
I had surgery and incision is in back of right back, and the front is all numb!! Will this numbness go away?
I have a vp shunt present that was placed behind the lungs and i was told i have a plueral fusion from a chest x ray
What is the sleeping position in pleural effusion?
IS the needle painful and who does it?
Most interesting video. I've had 2 thorsentesis, of right lung area. Had two nodules of the right lung biopseyed, and both came back negative, for cancer. Recently had anther xray, and xray showed returning of plural effusion.
I've had irritation of the bronchial ares, and must say, that your information may be the problem.
Now I will have to tactfully suggest this to my pulmonary doctor, (So he will discover, rather than as a result of your treatment suggestion.)
Thanks for posting.
Ron
Have you resolved your pleurisy? Mine hasn't gone away!
thanks
I’ve had a chest infection for 4 weeks ... can that cause it ???
when can we see Unilateral pleural effusion turning into Bilateral?
I came here because my mom had pleural effusion and the doctors cant seem to figure out what is causing it. She doesnt have any chest pains but had edema on her feet. She had the fluid drained and biopsied but it was negative for cancer. We went back and forth to the hospital because the first catheter tube that was inserted to drain the fluid had infection so they have to remove it and insert another tube to keep draining the fluid because it just won't stop. The doctors recomend we have to undergo PET scan which is very expensive and we are already financially drained. Right now she is still carrying this catheter tube with a leg bag and the fluid is still draining around 100-200 cc everyday. Please help
change hospital
go to a better hospital.
Hello sir, is plueral thickening is curable???? Thanks
If not symptomatic do not treat. Otherwise decortication is an option.
How does Empyema fall into this?
cheers bro
I have this pain, every time I breath I feel like a stabbing in my right lung, and some vibration with each breath like a cat purring a little bit, sleeping is the worst part, I can't lay on my bad, side or any position, if I do that, I will wake up in the middle of the night with serious pain in that area and I lose all sleep. The only position that had helped me so far with my sleep, is sleeping on my desk.
Went to 3 doctors, one of them was a lung specialist, he told me it is infected, and that I just needed rest, gave me an anti inflammatory and pain killers to take for 1 week.. 2 weeks now, still no progress, pain is constant, can't properly sleep, i'm feeling tired all the time due to lack of sleep, and the pain is constant too.
If anyone have any idea, please help, I am thinking of going to a 4th doctor, i'm afraid they'll just be incompetent.
I have pleural Effusion and Pericarditis, IT HURTS. Doctor told me it is probably infection cusing it but they never took a sample from the fluid around my lungs!!!!
Are you okay now ?? I'm wondering if I might have it too. What were your symptoms ?
@@BigSoul29 I have pleural effusion like in the video said symptoms are,chest pain, difficulty to breathe. Now I'm taking antibiotics I did a lots of laboratories. But not tb.im working here in Malaysia and my parents doesn't want me to do thoracentesis procedure. Reason is some patients going thoracentesis procedure they died.
Do they give you anesthesia for this I had one about six months ago and they did not give me anything and it hurt like a witch I mean just Twistin a broom inside a cauldron of hot goo
Would another symptom be an occasional dry cough that doesn’t go away?
where the trachea moves if pleural effusion present in both lungs??
it stays in the midline
You talk about atelectasis and consolidation as if they were the same thing. Also, you don't mention pulmonary edema. Finally, you talk about a pleural effusion without defining what the pleura is.
Hi! I am medical student, Can you post explain X-ray presentation
We have a series on Chest X-ray: czcams.com/video/8snjqtrnV1I/video.html
In this case disease can spread to others by caugh??
Where did you discuss treatment? Pulling out the fluid and testing it is not treatment in my mind. What if it is caused by pancreatitis? If you heal the pancreas will the fluid level stop increasing or even decrease on its own. My dog has pleural effusion. They have run multiple tests and cant find a cause.
I have a slight bubbling sensation or it feels like a movement of air within my chest cavity underneath my left nipple more towards my sternum. It's only noticeable at night when I'm adjusting my position in bed or bending over/exerting myself. I do experience what feels like nerve pain or bone pain in that area. I'm a smoker but I don't feel like my lung capacity has changed and I couldn't say whether or not I've been experiencing shortness of breath. Does this sound like a pleural effusion?
It could be it
I had this when I was born, I was in the NICU for a while because of it, and later when I was 8 or 9 I had trouble breathing and my chest was hurting a lot more. I told my mom and she took me to the hospital but before we got there I passed out. Then the doctors decided to make me wait and hour.
why does pleural effusion happen
I currently have both. Also fibrosis from cvid, or granulomataous lung disease. Why is everyone so slow in my care? I just get ivig monthly and to many antibiotics. Nobody seems to be helping me really. Why? I asked if I'm gonna die soon and he wouldn't say yes or no. But point is, some people have effusion and atelectasis. Save me science! Hurry!
what is the nursing management of pleural effusion
Are you okay now ??
I have CVID too. Nobody understands ):
So basically it's not your drinking water or anything? I'm 14 and I'm worry as hell. I don't have any of the symptoms but I still think I have it. When I drink something cold I can fell something cold going towards my lungs. Should I see a doctor or what. Someone please tell me!!!
+MGG I don't know whether you're serious or not. In case you're really serious, the cold feeling is just the cold water going down your esophagus. If the water was going down your trachea, you would have *the worst cough fit ever* and feel like drowning. So with 99.9999999% certainty you're fine and don't need to see a doc.
+Kalle Kantola thank you so much I honestly forgot about it, and I thank you for making me feel better about myself
Cheers, happy to be of assistance.
So this day I drink water and started coughing badly. I felt that water had gone somewhere it shouldn't have gone. Now I feel like vomiting all the time, short breath and unusual burps that don't seem like they come out of my stomach. Should I be worried?
we need real xray example's
I get pain in my right throat and pain in my left lung and left abdomen, shiting myself now lol!!
I just had one but now I can Breathe well
Is this bad ?
Please fast forward your drawings!
You make people more intelligent while ""FULL LEARNED DOCTORS WITH HALF KNOWLEDGE"" Does mistakes...?
Doc Was Amazed!!! while me asking the questions precisely,
Thank You Once Again.
