Watch-and-wait strategy is an option for primary spontaneous pneumothorax- Ultrasound-guided thoracentesis associated with less risk of pneumothorax
- Conservative management = intervention in patients with hemodynamically stable spontaneous pneumothorax
- Primary pneumothorax better with pleurodesis + drainage vs drainage alone
- Subclavian central lines: fewer infections and clots, increased risk of pneumothorax
- PEEP titration increases mortality in patients with ARDS compared with standard low PEEP
- Accurate diagnostic indicators for exudative pleural effusion
- ATS guideline for managing patients with malignant pleural effusion
- Ultrasound-guidance during SVC catheter placement improves outcomes
- Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation probably does not significantly reduce mortality in severe ARDS
- High-flow oxygen helpful in hospitalized infants with bronchiolitis
- NT-BNP reduces cost and rehospitalization rates in dyspneic patients.
