Yoğun Bakımda Plevral Efüzyon ve Ultrasonografi
Pleural efüzyon, plevral boşlukta normalden fazla sıvı birikimi olarak tanımlanır ve yoğun bakım hastalarında sık görülen, morbidite ve mortaliteyi artıran bir durumdur. Normalde parietal plevra aracılığıyla üretilen ve lenfatik sistemle emilen plevral sıvı, hidrostatik ve onkotik basınç dengesiyle korunur. Ancak, inflamasyon, konjestif kalp yetmezliği, mekanik ventilasyon, infeksiyonlar ve iatrojenik müdahaleler gibi etkenler bu dengeyi bozarak sıvı birikimine neden olur.
Tanı sürecinde akciğer grafisi, bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) ve ultrasonografi kullanılmaktadır. Akciğer grafisi, yüksek hacimli efüzyonlarda etkili olsa da düşük hacimli durumları tespit etmede yetersiz kalmaktadır. Ultrasonografi ise yüksek duyarlılık ve özgüllükle küçük miktarlardaki sıvıyı belirleyebilmekte, sıvının içeriği ve hacmi hakkında bilgi sunarak torasentez sırasında komplikasyon riskini azaltmaktadır. Ayrıca, Balık, Eibenberger ve Goecke formülleriyle sıvı hacmi tahmin edilebilmektedir.
Efüzyonun patofizyolojisinde, sıvı filtrasyonu ve lenfatik drenaj arasındaki dengesizlik temel rol oynar. Light kriterleri kullanılarak eksüda ve transüda ayrımı yapılmakta, böylece tedavi stratejileri belirlenmektedir. Erken tanı ve uygun müdahale, yoğun bakım hastalarında hastalığın seyrini olumlu yönde etkileyerek komplikasyonların önlenmesinde kritik öneme sahiptir.
Pleural effusion is defined as an abnormal accumulation of fluid within the pleural cavity and is a condition commonly observed in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. Under normal conditions, pleural fluid—produced by the parietal pleura and absorbed via the lymphatic system—is maintained in equilibrium by the balance of hydrostatic and oncotic pressures. However, factors such as inflammation, congestive heart failure, mechanical ventilation, infections, and iatrogenic interventions can disrupt this balance, resulting in the accumulation of fluid.
The diagnostic process typically involves chest radiography, computed tomography (CT), and ultrasonography. While chest radiography is effective in identifying large-volume effusions, it is less sensitive in detecting low-volume cases. In contrast, ultrasonography demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity in identifying even minimal fluid accumulations, offering valuable insights into both the composition and volume of the effusion and thereby reducing the risk of complications during thoracentesis. Moreover, pleural fluid volume can be estimated using the Balık, Eibenberger, and Goecke formulas.
In the pathophysiology of pleural effusion, the imbalance between fluid filtration and lymphatic drainage is pivotal. Light’s criteria are employed to differentiate between exudative and transudative effusions, thereby guiding therapeutic strategies. Early diagnosis and timely intervention are critical in improving clinical outcomes and mitigating complications in ICU patients.
