Endoscopic 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...

متن کاملModels to teach lung sonopathology and ultrasound-guided thoracentesis
Lung sonography allows rapid diagnosis of lung emergencies such as pulmonary edema, hemothorax or pneumothorax. The ability to timely diagnose an intraoperative pneumothorax is an important skill for the anesthesiologist. However, lung ultrasound exams require an interpretation of not only real images but also complex acoustic artifacts such as A-lines and B-lines. Therefore, appropriate traini...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided thoracentesis: is it a safer method?
STUDY OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study are as follows: (1) to determine the incidence of complications from thoracentesis performed under ultrasound guidance by interventional radiologists in a tertiary referral teaching hospital; (2) to evaluate the incidence of vasovagal events without the use of atropine prior to thoracentesis; and (3) to evaluate patient or radiographic factors that ...
متن کاملTherapeutic endoscopic ultrasound.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a viable and often preferred alternative to interventional and radiologic procedures, and the therapeutic applications of EUS continue to evolve. This evolution was catalyzed by the introduction of linear echoendoscopes that provide continuous imaging and observation of needles and by therapeutic devices that pass through large-caliber working channels. In this pa...
