Welcome to Dr. Sunil Lung Care Center, where we place your respiratory well-being at the forefront of our care. Our dedicated team specializes in providing advanced medical services, including Thoracentesis, a crucial procedure designed to collect pleural fluid for examination, aiding in the diagnosis of various respiratory conditions.
Thoracentesis, also known as a pleural tap, involves the insertion of a needle through the chest wall into the pleural cavity. This procedure is conducted to collect pleural fluid for examination, aiming to identify potential malignancy, infection, inflammation, or a combination of these conditions. Here’s a closer look at the significance of Thoracentesis:
Thoracentesis is primarily performed for diagnostic purposes. By extracting pleural fluid, our medical professionals gain valuable insights into the underlying causes of respiratory symptoms. This fluid examination can reveal whether there are signs of malignancy, infection, or inflammatory processes.
During Thoracentesis, a thin needle is carefully inserted into the pleural cavity, guided by imaging technology for precision. The collected fluid is then analyzed in a laboratory, allowing for a thorough evaluation of its composition and characteristics.
The results obtained from Thoracentesis play a crucial role in formulating personalized treatment plans. Whether the findings indicate malignancy, infection, or inflammation, our team can tailor interventions to address the specific respiratory condition affecting the patient.
If you are experiencing respiratory symptoms or have been recommended Thoracentesis by your healthcare provider, trust Dr. Sunil Lung Care Center for accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans.
