AB  - Pleural  effusion  occurs  in  more  than  1.5  million  patients  each  year  in  the  United  States.1  The  prevalence  of  ultrasound-detected  pleural  effusion  in  critically  ill  patients  has  been  reported  to  be  as  high  as  62%;2  mortality  is  increased  for  those  with  an  effusion.3  Among  the  causes  of  pleural  effusions,  heart  failure,  pleural  infection,  and  malignancy  are  most  common.4  Nonmalignant  pleural  effusions  (NMPEs)  arise  from  a  vast  assortment  of  conditions  (Fig.  76-1);  some  etiologies  have  been  associated  with  worse  survival  than  effusions  due  to  malignancy.5,6
