Brief Summary
The research aims to compare the efficacy of topical Pridocaine cream (lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5%) and the standardized local lidocaine infiltration in pain management before pleurocentesis.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
The severity of pain will be assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS).
The severity of pain will be assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS). The VAS consists of a 10cm line, with two endpoints representing 0 ('no pain') and 10 ('pain as bad as it could be'). Ask the patient to rate their current level of pain by placing a mark on the line. Use a ruler to measure the distance in centimeters from the 'no pain marker' (or zero) to the current pain mark. This provides a pain intensity score out of 10; for example, 6 out of 10 (or 6/10).

Pridocaine cream
EXPERIMENTALPridocaine cream (lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5%) will be applied at least 30 min before the pleurocentesis on the skin overlying the chosen aspiration site using ultrasound under occlusive dressing over a 5 × 5 cm area.
Standardized local lidocaine infiltration
ACTIVE COMPARATORAnesthetize the skin over the insertion site with 1% lidocaine using the 5 ml syringe with a 25 or 27-gauge needle. Next, anesthetize the superior surface of the rib and the pleura. The needle is inserted over the top of the rib (superior margin) to avoid the intercostal nerves and blood vessels that run on the underside of the rib (the intercostal nerve and the blood supply are located near the inferior margin). As the needle is inserted, aspirate back on the syringe to check for pleural fluid. Once fluid returns, note the depth of the needle and mark it with a hemostat. This gives an approximate depth for the insertion of the thoracentesis needle. Remove the anesthetizing needle.
Interventions
Pridocaine cream (lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5%) will be applied at least 30 min before the pleurocentesis on the skin overlying the chosen aspiration site using ultrasound under occlusive dressing over a 5 × 5 cm area. The time interval between topical Pridocaine cream (lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5%) application and pleural aspiration will be 30 min, and 45 min.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- All Patients will be prepared for pleurocentesis.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with a known history of sensitivity to local anesthetics of the amide type or to any other component of the product.
- Patients treated with class III anti-arrhythmic drugs (e.g., amiodarone, bretylium, sotalol, dofetilide).
