NCT ID NCT07167992

Summary

This study aims to find the better way to use talc powder to seal the lining of the lungs, a procedure called pleurodesis. It will compare putting talc in as a liquid slurry through a tube versus blowing it in as a powder during a camera procedure. Researchers will measure which method is more successful at preventing fluid or air from returning, which is safer, and which leads to a shorter hospital stay.
