简要总结
Pleural fluid glucose levels measured with bed-side point of care methods such as finger stick glucometers and I-STAT device correlate with the traditional in-lab testing methods.
详细描述
This is a prospective study which will identify patients in VAMC with a diagnosis of pleural effusion and undergoing diagnostic thoracentesis.The investigators plan to analyze the two bedside point-of-care fluid glucose testing methods (I- STAT device and finger stick glucometer) to measure pleural fluid glucose levels. The results obtained from these two methods will be compared to the traditionally in lab measured pleural fluid glucose levels.

结局指标
主要结局
Correlation of pleural fluid glucose measured with a glucometer and the I-STAT with the pleural fluid glucose level measured in the Lab
时间窗: <1 hour
Primary outcome will be the inter-assay precision of the finger stick glucometer and the I-STAT device as compared to the Gold standard in lab testing of pleural glucose.This will be done using the Bland-Altman plot.
次要结局
- Intra assay precision of pleural fluid glucose measured with a glucometer and with an I-STAT device.(< 1hour)
