Diagnostic Significance in Measurements of Respiratory Gases of Pleural Fluids
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
The measurement of respiratory gases and PH of pleural fluid were stuied for their possible use in differential diagnosis of pleural effusion.
The oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions were too variable to be of any use. But PH might be of diagnostic use because PH values less than 7.30 were usually associated with inflammatory effusion and higher PH values were seen in malignant effusion.
