Chest & Breathing Problems
Pleural effusion - when to remove tube?
I've had pleural effusion in the left lung (left side of my chest).
When breathing became too difficult I went to ER then admitted into hospital where they've used a bedside chest tube (catheter... the one plugged at the side of the chest with very thin transparent plastic tube) & drained significant fluid out.
It has already been 55 days & fluid output is still not within limit of 200ml/24hrs to remove catheter. Decreased but settled at 220-450 ml for a while. Is it still safe to remove tube?

Crackles or creaking sound in right lung
HI, I have light crackles in right lung base when I lie down in a stretched position only. And Even when I hold my breath, and push my central lung area, the crackles come and go. When I change my position even little bit, they dissappear. No chest pain is present. The crackles are occasional. is this a cause of concern or anything serious.
