Abstract

Catheterization after thoracic puncture was more useful for drainage and washing every or every other day when performed on both sides than when conducted on the right side alone. A silicon catheter was efficient enough to drain almost perfectly, although it came off in a week or two. A balloon catheter remained in a fixed position for a long time, although it removed only 70-80% of the effused fluid. This technique was applicable to hydrothorax and pyothorax in cats with success.
