Growth in Thoracentesis and Paracentesis Performed by Radiology and Advanced Practice Providers: Medicare Volume and Reimbursement Trends From 2012 to 2018.

Journal of the American College of Radiology, 2022
PURPOSE To study trends in volume and reimbursement for paracentesis and thoracentesis by physicians and advanced practice providers (APPs) after the introduction of discreet Current Procedural Terminology codes for image-guidance.

Safety of thoracentesis and tube thoracostomy in patients with uncorrected coagulopathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Chest, 2021
BACKGROUND Thoracentesis and tube thoracostomy are common procedures with bleeding risks, but existing guidelines may be overly conservative. We reviewed the evidence on the safety of thoracentesis and tube thoracostomy in patients with uncorrected ...

The Impact of Thoracentesis On Postprocedure Pulse Oximetry

Journal of Bronchology & Interventional Pulmonology, 2021
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Background: Although thoracentesis can offer considerable symptomatic relief to the patient, its physiologic impact on oxygen saturation has not been well established in the literature.

Lung ultrasound-guided therapeutic thoracentesis in refractory congestive heart failure

Acta Cardiologica, 2020
Background: Pleural effusion refractory to diuretic treatment is frequent in advanced heart failure. Therapeutic thoracentesis is a time-honored practice, recently made simpler and safer by guidance with lung ultrasound.

Pleural fluid lactate as a point-of-care adjunct diagnostic aid to distinguish tuberculous and complicated parapneumonic pleural effusions during initial thoracentesis: Potential use in a tuberculosis endemic setting.

Respiratory Investigation, 2020
BACKGROUND Tuberculous pleural effusions (TBEs) and parapneumonic pleural effusion (PPEs) have similar clinical presentations and fluid biochemistry. A pleural biopsy is usually required to diagnose TBE but complete fluid evacuation may not be necessary,

The Impact of Gravity versus Suction-driven Therapeutic Thoracentesis on Pressure-related Complications: the GRAVITAS Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.

Chest, 2019
BACKGROUND Thoracentesis can be accomplished by active aspiration or drainage with gravity. We investigated whether gravity drainage could protect against negative-pressure related complications, such as chest discomfort, re-expansion pulmonary edema or ...

Outcomes of Thoracentesis for Acute Heart Failure in Hospitals.

American Journal of Cardiology, 2020
Data on in-hospital outcomes for hospitalizations undergoing thoracentesis (THR) for any cause has been conflicting. For hospitalizations with acute heart failure (HF), however, to date, no study has evaluated the outcomes of THR.

Ultrasound Evaluation of Hemidiaphragm Function Following Thoracentesis

Journal of Bronchology & Interventional Pulmonology, 2019
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Background: Dyspnea is the major symptom caused by pleural effusion. The pathophysiological pathways leading to dyspnea are poorly understood. Dysfunction of respiratory mechanics may be a factor. We

Low-cost thoracentesis simulation for nurse practitioner students.

Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, 2020
The fast-paced hospital setting is not routinely a conducive environment for practicing procedural skills. Simulation learning can provide an opportunity for learners to achieve accuracy, confidence, and competence when performing the thoracentesis ...

Disparities over Time in Volume, Day of the Week, and Patient Complexity between Paracentesis and Thoracentesis Procedures Performed by Radiologists versus Those Performed by Nonradiologists.

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2019
PURPOSE To compare the disparities between the paracenteses and thoracenteses performed by radiologists with those performed by nonradiologists over time.
