Increased work of breathing and its relationship to dyspnea in malignant pleural effusion

The results suggest that the key mechanism of dyspnea in patients with malignant PE is related to reduced total lung compliance due to collapse of a lung part, leading to an increase in the work of breathing required to maintain adequate minute ventilation.
