Yes we sit the patients up and order diuretics. preform a echo and ecg w/ Troponin to r/o cardiac events. Order a Renal panel to r/o kidney failure CT thorax with and without contrast for better evaluation. If plural effusion present = thorethenesis Alot of pulmonary edema pt are cardiac or renal so this amount of plural effusion patients are small.
