The pleural effusion evaluation MedicalTemplate is suitable for any health care provider that evaluates patients with pleural effusions.
A pleural effusion is a collection of excess fluid in the pleural space which is between the lungs and the chest wall. Chest pain and difficulty breathing are the most common symptoms.
Pleural effusions are concerning because they can indicate the presence of malignancies, such as lung cancer, lymphoma, metastatic cancer, or rarely, mesothelioma. Fortunately, the most common causes of pleural effusions are a wide range of treatable medical conditions such as congestive heart failure (CHF), pneumonia, pancreatitis, lupus, kidney disease, liver disease, tuberculosis, and others. Because so many medical conditions can be associated with pleural effusions, it can be difficult to positively determine the etiology.

Digital Health Record
The pleural effusion evaluation MedicalTemplate functions like all other PDF files, but they have editable text fields and working checkboxes. This allows information to be typed in or pasted from other applications to fill out the template.
Filled pleural effusion evaluation MedicalTemplates can be printed and saved to a computer, USB drive, CD, DVD, or other storage device to create a digital health record for your patients.
Digital Signature Enabled
Pleural effusion evaluation MedicalTemplates can be signed with a digital signature, instead of a handwritten signature, if the use of a digital signature is acceptable at your practice location. Adobe PDF digital signatures require the creation of a digital ID that is used to sign the PDF.
