Abstract
Background: Tetracycline, talc, and bleomycin have been proved to be effective in recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax andmalignant pleural effusion. Recent studies have shown the efficacy of 2% betadine in pleurodesis.Objective: The objective of this study was to find out the success rate of 2% betadine in pleurodesis in patients with recurrentspontaneous pneumothorax and malignant pleural effusions.Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in SVS Medical College, Mahabubnagar Dist., Telangana, during the periodof May 2016 - Feb 2019. Patients with malignant pleural effusion and recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax were taken intoconsideration. About 2% betadine with xylocaine was used in this study.Results: A total of 26 patients underwent pleurodesis. Eighteen patients had malignant pleural effusion and eight patients hadrecurrent spontaneous pneumothorax. Of 26 patients, 23 (88.5%) patients had successful pleurodesis. Among 23 patients whohad underwent successful pleurodesis, 16 had malignant pleural effusion and seven had recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax.Conclusion: In our observation, we have seen that pleurodesis with 2% betadine is very effective and inexpensive in pleurodesiswithout many complications
