Clinical Features and Prognosis Research of Pleural Effusion in ICU Patients

Objective To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of pleural effusion intensive care unit (ICU) patients.Methods Total 92 cases of patients of ICU wards were retrospectively analyzed,in accordance with the availability of pleural effusion during hospitalization divided into non-pleural effusion groups and pleural effusion group,compared two groups of patients the incidence of respiratory failure,mechanical ventilation time and prognosis. And the use of minimally invasive surgery for thoracic cavity closed drainage puncture,drainage of fluid observed color,traits,drainage.Results 92 cases of pleural effusion in patients with the incidence of 41%,pleural effusion group of patients the incidence of respiratory failure,mechanical ventilation time was significantly higher than that of non-pleural effusion group(P0.05). 24h pleural drainage 180-1600ml,all bloody pleural effusion,or pale yellow appearance. Laboratory examination showed changes exudate.Conclusion ICU patients with a higher incidence of pleural effusion,pleural effusion with respiratory failure of the high incidence of mechanical ventilation time,and significantly correlated with the prognosis.
