Analysis of the clinical curative effect of central venous catheter drainage in the treatment of pleural effusion

Objective To explore the clinical curative effect of central venous catheter drainage in treating pleural effusion.Methods 100 cases with pleural effusion were treated by the central venous catheter drainage.The curative effect,complications and adverse reactions were observed.Results Ater treatment for 12 ～ 28d,catheter drainage of 100 patients were all successful at the first time.The clinical effect:completely relieve 40 cases(40.0％),clinical partial remission 47 cases(47.0％),inefficient 13 cases (13.0％),and the total effective rate was 87.0％.There were some complications:pneumothorax 1 case,hemorrhage 2 cases,infection 1 case,pleural reaction 3 cases,pain 3 cases,subcutaneous emphysema 2 cases and take off the tube 1 case,the incidence rate of complications was 13.0％.Conclusion Central venous catheter drainage in t.reating pleural effusion has significant curative effect,which is worthy of clinical application.
