Reason for Study: PLEURAL EFFUSION
Placement of a Pleural Drainage Tube: The guidewire was used to progressively dilate the subcutaneous tract. An 8 French drainage tube was advanced over guidewire and under fluoroscopic guidance was positioned with the catheter tip curled within the fluid collection. Amber-colored fluid was aspirated and sent for culture and sensitivity. The catheter was secured in place with 2.0 Prolene sutures. Fluoro spot films of the chest were obtained to document final position of the catheter. The patient tolerated the procedure well without complications 32551, 75989? |
