Understanding Pleural Effusions

This video contains a detailed and simplified explanation about pleural effusions. We discuss the pathophysiology, causes, presentation, investigations, complications and management of pleural effusions. CORRECTION The cutoff for exudative effusions is more than 3g per dL (decilitre) rather than 3g/l as stated in the video. More written notes and diagrams about pleural effusions are available on the website at www.zerotofinals.com/pleuraleffusion.
