摘要
As practicing intensivists, we frequently diagnose pleural effusions in mechanically ventilated patients and routinely perform thoracentesis even when the patient is on positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). In light of a recent report, we have reviewed our experience. It is of interest that all thoracenteses were performed with patients in the lateral decubitus position.
