A thoracentesis is an operative surgical procedure to " to remove fluid from the space between the lining of the outside of the lungs (pleura) and the wall of the chest."[1][2]
Procedure
Routine ultrasonography can help obtain fluid samples and reduce complications according to randomized controlled trials[3][4][5] and a systematic review.[6]
The amount of fluid sent for cytology should be at least 60 mL if only direct smear/cytospin is used; whereas 150 mL should be sent if both direct smear/cytospin and cell block preparations are used.[7]
Although an over-the-needle catheter is recommended by some experts[2], it does not clearly reduce the rate of pneumothorax.[5]>
Complications
The rote of pneumothorax is about 6%.[6]
Correction of coagulopathy is not required.[8]
