It is concluded that talc in a slurry is a very effective pleural sclerosant in rabbits and does not produce hemothoraces as do the tetracycline derivatives. Insufflated talc is probably the most effective agent for creating a pleurodesis both in the clinical situation and in animals. However, the insufflation of talc requires an invasive procedure such as thoracoscopy or …Web
evaluate whether talc in slurry is an effective pleural sclerosant. We used an experimental rabbit model to examine the pleural changes that occur following talc slurry pleurodesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six normal New Zealand white rabbits weighing 2.5 to 3.5 kg were used for this study. Talc slurry preparation Talc was dry heated and ...Web
Talc has been commonly used for treatment of MPE due to its well-known effectiveness for producing pleural symphysis. ...

Discussion. The present study demonstrates that talc in a slurry is an effective agent for producing pleurodesis in the rabbit model. Talc at a dose of 400 mg/kg produced gross and microscopic pleural fibrosis to a degree that was at least as high as that produced by the intrapleural injection of tetracycline, 35 mg/kg, or minocycline 7, 10, 20, or 40 …Web

Background: It has been suggested that talc and doxycycline might be acting through different pathways in creating pleurodesis. We hypothesized that combining doxycycline and talc in half the usual doses would be synergistic in inducing pleurodesis. Methods: Thirty-two rabbits were equally allocated into four groups: group 1, half-dose combination (5 …Web

When tetracycline became unavailable, the use of talc as a pleurodesis agent increased rapidly. Indeed, it is the agent most commonly used for pleurodesis at the present time (10). Talc can be administered either as an aerosol (insufflation) or a suspension (slurry). Talc is the choice of many physicians because it is inexpensive, widely ...Web
Chemical pleurodesis has become the preferred treatment for definitive management of malignant pleural effusions.
