Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether betadine (povidone-iodine) instillation during routine indwelling Tunneled Pleural Catheter (TPC) placement is efficacious in promoting pleurodesis and thus reducing the time to TPC removal.

- Malignant Effusion - Usual Care
- description
- Patients who had a pleural effusion secondary to a malignant etiology and subsequently underwent tunneled pleural catheter (TPC) placement and had usual care during and afterwards. Usual care is the TPC only with no intrapleural medications. They would have nursing care in the recovery area afterwards and home nursing three times weekly.

- Malignant Effusion with Pleurodesis
- description
- Patients who had a pleural effusion secondary to a malignant etiology and subsequently underwent tunneled pleural catheter (TPC) placement and had intrapleural Povidone-Iodine administered at time of placement (100mL of 2% solution). They would have nursing care in the recovery area afterwards and home nursing three times weekly.
