Implication

Case series evaluates safety and efficacy of nonintubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in malignant pleural effusion management, suggesting comparable outcomes to intubated approaches.

Key Points

Nonintubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is as safe as intubated surgery for managing malignant pleural effusion.
Visual analogue scores showed significant improvement 4 hours after surgery, indicating effective pain management.
A total of 315 patients participated, with a mean age of 54.58 years, highlighting the demographic affected by this condition.
No significant differences were noted in dyspnea scores or chest X-ray findings between both surgical methods, reinforcing safety.
