Complications
Major complications-
- Bleeding (intra thoracic or intra abdominal)
- pneumothorax (3-30%),
- hemopneumothorax,
- hemorrhage
- pleural space infection
- puncture of diaphragm, spleen or liver (can be prevented by use of ultrasound guidance )
- hypotension (low blood pressure due to a vasovagal response)
- re-expansion pulmonary edema.(when large amounts of pleural fluid is removed, should not remove more than 1.5l/day)[1]
Minor complications-
- dry tap (no fluid return),
- subcutaneous hematoma or seroma
- pain at the site of needle insertion
- anxiety, dyspnea and cough (after removing large volume of fluid)
