space in b/t visceral and parietal pleura
pleural space
excess fluid in pleural space
pleural effusion
lungs: 6th rib
pleura: 8th rib
lungs: 8th rib

lungs: 10th rib
pleura: 12th rib
where to drain fluid in pleural effusion
above 10th rib at midscapular line
why go above rib when draining
because neurovascular bundle is below ribs
air trapped in pleural space
pneumothorax
space safe to get air out of pleural space
