We investigated effects of thoracentesis on pul-monary function tests in 41 patients with pleurisy, at Chest Diseases Department of Selcuk University Medical Faculty. Of the pulmonary function parameters FVC, FE1/1 , FEV1IFVC and PEF were measured before and after thoracentesis. The values of these parameters determined after thoracentesis were wound increased significantly compared to the values before thoracentesis. Our results suggest that thoracentesis provides improvoment in pulmonary functions of the patients with pleurisy.
