PLEURA, 2016
Medical thoracoscopy (MT) is a procedure that involves access to the pleural space with an endoscope allowing direct visualization of the pleural space and intrathoracic structures while aiding in obtaining tissue or performing interventions under direct visual guidance. This article reviews the technique, applications, and complications of MT.

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2021
Medical thoracoscopy is an effective and safe modality to visualize and sample contents of the pleural cavity. It is an outpatient procedure that can be performed while the patient is spontaneously breathing, with the use of local anesthesia and intravenous medications for sedation and analgesia.

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2009
The technique and clinical applications of medical thoracoscopy have substantially evolved in the last few decades. The recent development of a semirigid thoracoscope, which is handled similarly to a bronchoscope, has made this procedure more attractive to pulmonologists.

Thoracoscopy has received increasing attention over the past decade as a result of the considerable advances that have been made in the development of endoscopic instruments. In contrast to the newly established video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, the classic way to perform thoracoscopy is using only local anesthesia and sedation (medical ...

Respiration, 2008
As opposed to ‘video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery’ which requires general anesthesia, double-lumen tracheal intubation and single lung ventilation, medical thoracoscopy (or ‘pleuroscopy’) is frequently performed in the respiratory endoscopy suite using local anesthesia.

Benefits of Using Peripheral Nerve Blocks for Medical Thoracoscopy
Journal of Bronchology & Interventional PulmonologyBackground: Medical thoracoscopy (MT) is a minimally invasive procedure performed to diagnose and treat pleural disorders. MT is usually accomplished with the use of monitored anesthesia care (MAC) and local anesthetic (LA) infiltration.

High flow oxygen does not improve oxygenation during rigid medical thoracoscopy.
Respiration; international review of thoracic diseasesINTRODUCTION The sedation required for rigid medical thoracoscopy may be associated with hypoventilation and intermittent hypoxaemia. High flow oxygen administration has been shown to decrease hypoxaemia during sedation for flexible bronchoscopy, a ...

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Impact of Medical Thoracoscopy in Tuberculosis Pleuritis
Infectious Diseases in Clinical PracticeTuberculous pleuritis (TBP) presents a diagnostic challenge due to its paucibacillary nature. The gold standard for diagnosing TBP requires the identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in tissue culture and evidence of granulomatous ...

Medical thoracoscopy/pleuroscopy
2012Medical thoracoscopy/pleuroscopy (MT/P), compared with surgical thoracoscopy (VATS), has the advantage that it can be performed under local anesthesia or conscious sedation, in an endoscopy suite, using nondisposable rigid (or semirigid) instruments. Thus, it is considerably less expensive.
