Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The most common causes of pleural effusion are congestive heart failure, cancer, pneumonia, and pulmonary embolism. Pleural fluid puncture (pleural tap) enables the differentiation of a transudate from an exudate, which remains, at present, the foundation of the further diagnostic work-up.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most common cause of pleural effusion is congestive heart failure (CHF). This means the heart has difficulty pumping blood throughout the body.
