NCT ID: NCT06159179 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Medical Thoracoscopy

Medical Thoracoscopy for Undiagnosed Transudative and Exudative Pleural Effusion

Start date: November 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Indonesia is one of country that contributes the most cases of tuberculosis worldwide. Tuberculosis is the most commonly etiology of exudative pleural effusion. There have been many studies about undiagnosed exudative pleural effusion, but there are not many studies about the use of medical thoracoscopy for diagnosing transudative and exudative pleural effusion, especially on biomarkers of C-Reactive Protein (CRP), D-dimer, Adenosine Deaminase (ADA), Antinuclear Antibody (ANA), C3 C4 complements, Cancer Antigen 125 (CA-125), Xpert Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (Xpert MTB), Lupus Erythematosus cell (LE cell), cytology (effusion and smear) and histopathology. Information gained from those biomarkers via thoracenthesis and medical troracoscopy, etiology of exudative and transudative pleural effusion can be detected earlier and clearly, especially etiology of infection, autoimmune, and malignancy that further can be used to reduce patients' hospitalization period, mortality, and to develop the new therapeutic agents.

Surgical Site Preparation in Subjects Undergoing Medical Thoracoscopy

CAPTAIN
Start date: April 18, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Medical thoracoscopy is the preferred procedure for performing pleural biopsy in patients with pleural effusions that remain undiagnosed after pleural fluid analysis. Surgical site infections (SSI) and empyema are among the important complications of the procedure. At author's center, povidone-iodine is used for surgical site preparation during MT. The investigators hypothesized that chlorhexidine-alcohol would be superior to povidone-iodine in reducing the rate of infectious complications following thoracoscopy. In this study, the authors propose to investigate the efficacy of chlorhexidine-alcohol scrub in preventing post procedural infectious complications in subjects undergoing medical thoracoscopy

Efficiency and Safety of Pleural Biopsy Methods in the Diagnosis of Pleural Diseases

Start date: February 8, 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Image-guided pleural biopsies, both ultrasound (US) or computed tomography (CT) guided, and medical thoracoscopy are important in the diagnosis of pleural disease. However, no consensus exists regarding which biopsy methods are appropriate for specific procedures. In this prospective study, the investigators aimed to compare CT-scan guided pleural biopsy using an Abrams' needle (CT-ANPB) with US-assisted pleural biopsy using a cutting needle (US-CNPB)and medical thoracoscopy with respect to both diagnostic yield and safety.
