Observations on the present position of treatment

Irish Journal of Medical Science (1926-1967)

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Pleural effusions are essentially dangerous.

  2. 2.

    Current treatment adds to, rather than diminishes, these dangers.

  3. 3.

  4. 4.

    It has failed to achieve popularity, through wrong approach to the problem and through difficulties of technique.

  5. 5.

    A method of overcoming these difficulties is described.
