common.study.values.description
“Talc Outpatient Pleurodesis With Indwelling Catheter”
This study will be a prospective, randomized trial comparing a new protocol to the standard of care. The investigators protocol and the standard of care involves a previously established procedure that will be completed in the investigators pulmonary procedure unit. The study will include using previously, well-established procedures (indwelling pleural catheter placement, talc slurry administration through an indwelling pleural catheter, pleuroscopy with talc poudrage administration) in addition to a new protocol (at home continuous drainage via indwelling pleural catheter).
