摘要
Talc is considered today as the agent of choice for pleurodesis, since it has a success rate of over 90%, depending on the application method used. Talc is a natural, asbestosfree product composed of talc, chlorite, and trace minerals. The powder is sprayed thoracoscopically on both pleural layers under visual control, whereas the slurry is instilled through the chest tube. Talc damages the mesothelial cells within 24 h. The resulting inflammation induces symphysis between the pleural layers. The application of talc has been widely studied; it is safe with rare adverse effects, widely available, and cost-efficient. This review gives an overview and offers tips and tricks for the use of talc as poudrage and slurry.
