A large number of patients with pleural effusion serious impact on the physiological function and quality of life, and accelerate disease progression. Adequate drainage and drainage of pleural effusion after the drug is injected determine the efficacy of two important factors (1). The traditional treatment for the pleural fluid or pleural puncture closed drainage (2), trauma, likely to cause a variety of serious complications, is a potentially dangerous operation, particularly greater risk of elderly patients. In order to reduce trauma, reduce risk, in recent years tended to carry out small-bore catheter drainage in minimally invasive treatment of pleural effusion (3). In view of the basis of disease in many of the elderly, poor heart and lung function, we used single-lumen venous Percutaneous catheter drainage into closed thoracic continuous method, 65 patients were treated elderly patients with pleural effusion, and achieved better efficacy, compared with the traditional closed thoracic drainage, safer, simpler, are as follows. 1 Materials and methods 1.1 General Information Select January 2003 to August 2007 110 patients in our hospital, were confirmed by X ray, chest B-ultrasound diagnosis of pleural effusion large.
