Improved fine catheter drainage in the treatment of severe ovarian hyperstimulation complicated with mas-sive pleural effusion:An analysis of 21 cases
Abstract：Objective To explore the improvement of fine catheter drainage for ovarian hyperstimulation syn -drome( OHSS) leading to a large volume of pleural effusion .Methods Improved self-made fine catheters were used by B ultrasonic positioning continuously drain of pleural effusion , and fluid expansion and symptomatic treatment were formed.Results No adverse reactions and dyspnea were found during the drainage .No serious complications such as pulmonary edema and pleural reaction were found after the operation .The average time for placing chest tubes was (9.82 ±3.22)days, the symptoms were completely relieved after 2 weeks′treatment.The pleural effusion was found disappearing completely by B ultrasound examination .The white blood cells , neutrophils , hematocrit , platelet and al-bumin levels and coagulation function were improved after the drainage , with significant differences compared with those before the drainage ( P<0.01 ) .Conclusion Improved fine catheter drainage is a safe and effective method for the treatment of severe ovarin hyperstimulation complicated with massive pleural effusion .It is simple and economi-cal,can rapidly relieve the symptoms of oppression ,reduce infections and other side reactions .
