Pleural effusion decreases left ventricular pre-load and causes haemodynamic compromise: an experimental porcine study

Background Although pleural effusion is a common complication in critically ill patients, detailed knowledge is missing about the haemodynamic impact and the underlining mechanisms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the haemodynamic effect of incremental pleural effusion by means of invasive hae...
