Contraindications
Absolute-
- Thoracentesis has no absolute contraindications.
Relative-
- Small fluid accumulations make thoracocentesis difficult and may increase the risk of pneumothorax. Ultrasound guidance helps in reducing the risk of pneumothorax or damage to lung tissue.
- Positive pressure ventilation also increase the risk of pneumothorax.
- Infection of the overlying skin.[1]
- Uncorrected coagulopathy and thrombocytopenia predispose to bleeding complications, however, the risk of bleeding can be decreased by use of small and finer needles.
- An uncooperative patient(esp.paediatric patients) can lead to damage to the underlying vascular structures and lung parenchyma. This can be avoided by generous use of sedation and analgesia.
