Lung Cancer Posters ISESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: In previous studies we have shown that the pretest and posttest diagnostic concordance in Pleural effusions (PE) is moderate (K: 0.55). In terms of sensitivity, the ascites hydrothorax have the greatest concordance (93%) and neoplasic showed very low. Knowing the reasons for this discrepancy in neoplasic pleural effusions may be useful in clinical practice. Objectives: 1. Analyze the overall concordance according to aetiology of the PE. 2. Evaluate the specific concordance in neoplasic pleural effusions and the reasons for the disagreement. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Paola Arrieta Narvaez, Esteban Perez Rodriguez, Carolina Gotera, Rosa Mirambeaux Villalona, Carolina Jurkojc Mohremberger, Patricia Lazo Meneses, Salvador Diaz Lobato, Sagrario Mayoralas Alises, Eva Mañas Baena, Jonathan Cámara Fernández, Patricia Castro Acosta, Maria Galarza Jimenez, Deisy Barrios BarretoNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.

Griggs' forceps technique for elective bedside percutaneous dilational tracheotomy (PDT) is safe, fast, and carries fewer complications in expert hands. This study aimed at comparing between emergency cricothyrotomy and emergency PDT in patients with failed intubation. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Bassem Beshey, Hany Asaad, Emad IbrahimNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
