Thoracentesis
Thoracentesis drains excess fluid from the pleural space, aiding breathing. It's typically done in a doctor's office or hospital, lasting 10-15 minutes. Patients sit while a needle is inserted between the ribs to extract fluid. Afterward, a bandage is applied, and the fluid is analysed for diagnosis. A chest X-ray may follow to assess lung health, with possible complications like pneumothorax, pain, bleeding, bruising, or infection.
