Professor Zach Murphy will be lecturing on Pleural Diseases. We will be going into detail on the following main objectives:
1. Introduction to Pleural Diseases
- Acquire a foundational understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the pleura.
- Discuss the role of the pleura in respiratory function and how it can be affected by various disease processes.
2. Pathophysiology of Pleural Diseases
- Dive into the mechanisms underlying common pleural diseases, including how fluid, air, or blood accumulates in the pleural space.
- Learn about transudative vs. exudative pleural effusions and their etiologies.
3. Clinical Manifestations
- Recognize the signs and symptoms commonly associated with pleural diseases like pleural effusion and pneumothorax.
- Understand the physical examination findings that can point to pleural pathology.
4. Diagnostic Criteria and Tools
- Familiarize yourself with the current diagnostic criteria based on the latest clinical guidelines.
- Understand the utility and interpretation of imaging studies, including chest X-ray and ultrasound, as well as pleural fluid analysis.
5. Management Strategies for Pleural Effusion
- Discuss the evidence-based management of pleural effusion, including the roles of thoracentesis, pleurodesis, and pleural catheters.
- Understand when to escalate care, for example, when effusion is malignant or recurrent.
6. Management Strategies for Pneumothorax
- Gain insights into the current best practices for managing pneumothorax, ranging from observation and oxygen therapy to needle decompression and surgical intervention.
