Summary

chemical pleurodesis using doxycycline is an acceptable and commonly employed palliation for malignant pleural effusion. Rotation of patient during pleurodesis using the powder from doxycycline capsule is still practiced in some centers. The benefit of rotation practice in pleurodesis can be verified after properly designed study on the outcome of pleurodesis with rotation and non-rotation by chest ultrasound assessment
