Pleurocentesis, also called thoracentesis, is a procedure used to remove fluid from the space surrounding the lungs. It may assist in diagnosing pleural fluid accumulation or relieving related symptoms. Dr. Justin has documented experience performing pleurocentesis as part of his critical care procedural expertise.
Pericardiocentesis involves removing fluid from the pericardial sac surrounding the heart. The procedure may be required for diagnostic assessment or urgent treatment when accumulated fluid affects cardiac function. Dr. Justin has experience performing pericardiocentesis in appropriate intensive care and emergency settings.
Intercostal drainage involves placing a tube into the pleural cavity to remove excess air, blood or fluid. It may be necessary in conditions such as pneumothorax or significant pleural collections. Dr. Justin has procedural experience with intercostal drainage in critically ill patients.
