Abstract
Large-volume thoracentesis results in a statistically significant increase in TPTD-derived EVLWI. Because EVLWI was higher after removal of pleural fluid, we conclude that pleural effusions do not take part in single-indicator TPTD as a part of the pulmonary thermovolume and do not increase TPTD-derived EVLWI.
