Ninja Nerds!
Professor Zach Murphy will be lecturing on Pleural Diseases. We will be going into detail on the following main objectives:

1. Introduction to Pleural Diseases
Acquire a foundational understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the pleura.
Discuss the role of the pleura in respiratory function and how it can be affected by various disease processes.

2. Pathophysiology of Pleural Diseases
Dive into the mechanisms underlying common pleural diseases, including how fluid, air, or blood accumulates in the pleural space.
Learn about transudative vs. exudative pleural effusions and their etiologies.

3. Clinical Manifestations
Recognize the signs and symptoms commonly associated with pleural diseases like pleural effusion and pneumothorax.
Understand the physical examination findings that can point to pleural pathology.

4. Diagnostic Criteria and Tools
Familiarize yourself with the current diagnostic criteria based on the latest clinical guidelines.
Understand the utility and interpretation of imaging studies, including chest Xray and ultrasound, as well as pleural fluid analysis.

5. Management Strategies for Pleural Effusion
Discuss the evidencebased management of pleural effusion, including the roles of thoracentesis, pleurodesis, and pleural catheters.
Understand when to escalate care, for example, when effusion is malignant or recurrent.

6. Management Strategies for Pneumothorax
Gain insights into the current best practices for managing pneumothorax, ranging from observation and oxygen therapy to needle decompression and surgical intervention.
