My sister underwent pluedesis using talc as the irritant. Then they strapped her on a rotating device so that talc could be evenly distributed. It took about 2 to 3 days for the drainage to stop.
After this procedure, there would be no pleural effusion.
I often wonder why do we need the pleural space in the first place. After closing the space, she had no ill effects.
