Talc Pleurodesis
is the procedure used to stop
the fluid buildup between the sheets of tissue (pleura)
covering the outside of the lung and lining of the chest
cavity. The fluid stops the lung from fully expanding
when you breathe. So as it builds up, the collected
fluid will cause shortness of breath. A talc
pleurodesis seals the space between pleura with either
sterile talc or an antibiotic.

More...
- No evidence the EPP is superior to
lung-sparing P/D
- Both surgeries carry potentially serious
risks
- Only experienced surgeons should attempt
either surgery
- "The EPP should not become the (Sir
Edmund Hillary) operation of Thoracic Surgery: being done simply because
it is there and because it can be done
