Can the NHS be assured that in all hospitals, at all times of day, there is access to safe & effective decision making, thoracic USS & pleural procedures? Perhaps more investigation, deeper understanding and action is needed @BTSrespiratory @UKPleura

🧵 (7/?) Great survey showing the current state of play. More thoracoscopists, more day case procedures, interestingly slightly less thoracoscopy with increasing US guided pleural biopsy.

Is National pleural database the future?

An important document that I think will be of interest to our followers.

UK Pleural Research Conference in Oxford on 4 & 5 July 2024.
There will be a dinner at St Hilda’s College on Thursday night. Accommodation is also available to book. We’re still encouraging abstract submission.
…It would be great to see as many of you as possible there. It will once again be a hybrid event with online attendance for those who can’t attend in person. Please do all this via the website at:https://t.co/dk9MmwrqoF

ERJ: The TARGET trial was a multicentre randomised trial comparing PET-CT targeted pleural biopsy to standard CT-guided pleural biopsy for suspected pleural malignancy. The results do not support the practice of PET-CT to guide pleural biopsies. https://t.co/0Bum7yhaJC

Pneumothorax management is changing with different options driven by patient choice. My pneumothorax journey is a patient information resource to support those discussions. Developed by patients with lived experience & clinicians in multiple languages.

Important study. Great data to guide the way we approach pleural procedures during pandemic #PRD2021

[Bristol Academic Respiratory Unit @BristolARU]

And here are those results; pleural procedures, including thoracentesis, chest drain insertion, LAT generated fewer aerosols than normal breathing. Total aerosol levels similar to background levels. Time to ditch full PPE for pleural procedures?

1/ Have you ever heard your friendly pulmonologist use the terms “entrapped” or “trapped” lung and were confused about the terminology? If so you are not alone and this is the tweetorial for you! #MedTwitter #tweetorial @crit_caring_MD @lkbrath @VCU_PCCM @PSinkam
