Pleurodesis Chemical in Dubai at DRHC

Chemical pleurodesis is a medical procedure used to treat recurrent pleural effusions (the accumulation of fluid in the pleural space) and pneumothorax (collapsed lung). This procedure involves the administration of a chemical agent into the pleural space to induce inflammation and fibrosis, effectively eliminating the space where fluid or air can accumulate. At DRHC Dubai, our team of experienced thoracic surgeons and pulmonologists utilize the latest techniques in chemical pleurodesis to provide effective and long-lasting relief for our patients.

Conditions Treated with Chemical Pleurodesis

Chemical pleurodesis is commonly performed to manage:

• Recurrent Pleural Effusions: Often caused by conditions such as cancer, heart failure, or chronic infections, leading to repeated fluid accumulation in the pleural space.
• Pneumothorax: Persistent or recurrent air accumulation in the pleural space, causing the lung to collapse.

Procedure Details

The chemical pleurodesis procedure at DRHC Dubai involves the following steps:

1. Preparation: The patient is positioned comfortably, and the procedure site is sterilized. Local anesthesia or mild sedation is administered to ensure patient comfort.
2. Chest Tube Insertion: A chest tube is inserted into the pleural space to drain any existing fluid or air.
3. Administration of Chemical Agent: A sclerosing agent (such as talc, doxycycline, or bleomycin) is introduced into the pleural space through the chest tube. This agent causes irritation and inflammation, leading to the fusion of the pleural layers.
4. Repositioning: The patient may be repositioned to ensure the even distribution of the chemical agent within the pleural space.
5. Monitoring: The chest tube remains in place for a few days to allow drainage of any remaining fluid or air and to ensure the success of the procedure.

Benefits of Chemical Pleurodesis

Chemical pleurodesis offers several advantages:

• Long-Lasting Relief: Effectively prevents the recurrence of pleural effusions and pneumothorax.
• Minimally Invasive: Performed through a chest tube, avoiding the need for more invasive surgical procedures.
• Reduced Hospital Visits: Decreases the frequency of hospital visits and interventions for recurrent pleural effusions or pneumothorax.
• Improved Quality of Life: Enhances patient comfort and reduces symptoms such as shortness of breath and chest pain.
