Over the past decade, endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has become an indispensable tool in diagnostic armamentarium of pulmonologist. As expertise with EBUS-TBNA evolved and several innovations have occurred, indications for its use expanded. However, aspects are still not standardized. Hence, evidence-based guidelines needed to optimize yield safety EBUS-TBNA. For this purpose, a working group experts from India was constituted. A detailed...

Pleural effusion is a common problem in our country, and most of these patients need invasive tests as they can’t be evaluated by blood alone. The simplest them diagnostic pleural aspiration, techniques such medical thoracoscopy are being performed more frequently than ever before. However, physicians India treat empirically, leading to delays diagnosis, misdiagnosis complications from wrong treatments. This situation must change, the adoption evidence-based protocols urgently needed....

Urinothorax (UT) is a rare and often undiagnosed condition, defined as the presence of urine in pleural cavity due to retroperitoneal leakage (known urinoma) into space. It cause effusion secondary traumatic or obstructive reasons. UT usually transudate effusion. Its diagnosis requires high degree clinical suspicion, because respiratory symptoms tend be absent mild urological signs dominate. Thoracocentesis followed by measurement creatinine fluid procedure establish true diagnosis. The...

Sir, Pleural manometry is the technique to measure pleural pressure either with water manometer or digital manometer. Under normal conditions, there a thin film of fluid in space. The secreted from parietal pleura as it supplied by systemic vessels and high-pressure system absorbed visceral pulmonary vessels, which operate at lower pressures. It also lymphatics pleurae, covering diaphragms mediastinal region. Total volume 0.26 ± 0.1/ml/kg cell counts 1500-2000/ml, macrophages 75%,...
