Abstract

Objective: To analyze the application effectiveness of ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of pleural diseases.Methods: A study was conducted on 80 patients with pleural diseases in our hospital from March 2023 to March 2024. All 80 patients were pathologically confrmed and underwent X-ray/ultrasound examination. Among them, 38 cases underwent syringe aspiration therapy, included in the control group, and 42 cases underwent central venous catheterization therapy, included in the observation group. The clinical effcacy of the two groups was compared.Results: The detection rates and specifcities of chest wall tumors and pleural effusions were basically consistent between the two examination methods (P > 0.05). The ultrasound examination showed significantly higher rates of detection for empyema, pleural adhesions/thickening, pleural effusion, overall detection rate, diagnostic accuracy, and sensitivity compared to X-ray (P < 0.05). The treatment success rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the rates of symptom relief and mortality were signifcantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion: Ultrasound examination can effectively detect various types of pleural diseases. It is recommended to use central venous catheterization, which shows more signifcant effcacy.
