"IMMEDIATE" AUSCULTATION AND PERCUSSION.

Auscultation and Percussion

Clavicle tapping and auscultation as an alternative to chest percussion when performing thoracocentesis.

I read with interest the article “Limited Utility of Chest Radiograph After Thoracentesis” by Petersen and Zimmerman in a recent issue of CHEST (April 2000).1 Although I agree that performing a routine chest radiograph following a thoracentesis is needless in most patients, I was surprised by the number of pneumothoraces that occurred during the performance of thoracentesis, because, in my hand...
