    Post pleural effusion

    I am currently posted in the chest ward and i have a number of patients with ICD. I know pretty well that with expiration the intra pleural pressure rises up. Does that rise a factor responsible for the draining of fluid into the ICD. OR is it the inspiratory exercises which expand the lung which compresses the pleural space help in draining of the fluid?

    Please reply
