متن کاملEndoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Therapeutic Thoracentesis
Diagnostic or therapeutic thoracentesis in patients with mechanical ventilation is typically performed with ultrasound guidance using a posterolateral approach. Recently, the use of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for detection and aspiration of pleural effusions and the feasibility of bedside EUS in critically ill patients has been described. We present a case of EUSguided therapeutic thoracentesi...
