  • Title: A safe method of thoracentesis.
    Author: Krausz M, Manny J.
    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1976 Aug; 72(2):323-5. PubMed ID: 957750.
    Abstract:
    A simple and safe method for therapeutic and diagnostic thoracentesis is described. The application of this technique of thoracentesis may decrease the chance of injury to the lung during the procedure. The complete evacuation of the pleural cavity may reduce the chance of development of adhesions. Repeated aspirations and instillation of medications with the same system left in the thoracic cavity may also be possible.
