Pleural Fluid Aspiration

Pleural Fluid Aspiration in Delhi

Pleural Fluid Aspiration, also known as Thoracentesis, is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove excess fluid from the pleural space—the area between the lungs and the chest wall. This procedure helps relieve symptoms such as shortness of breath and chest discomfort while also assisting in diagnosing the underlying cause of pleural effusion, including infections, tuberculosis (TB), heart failure, liver disease, or certain cancers.

At Tomar Medical Center, Dr. Saurabh Tomar, a renowned Pulmonologist and Chest Physician, performs Pleural Fluid Aspiration with precision and care. Using advanced techniques and a patient-centered approach, he ensures accurate diagnosis, symptom relief, and appropriate treatment planning.

When is Pleural Fluid Aspiration Recommended?

Pleural Fluid Aspiration may be advised when excess fluid around the lungs causes symptoms or when the cause of pleural effusion needs to be identified.

Pleural Effusion: Fluid accumulation around the lungs detected on a chest X-ray, ultrasound, or CT scan requires evaluation to identify the underlying cause.
Shortness of Breath: Difficulty breathing caused by excess pleural fluid may require assessment and appropriate management.
Chest Pain: Persistent chest discomfort or pain associated with pleural fluid buildup should be evaluated for proper diagnosis.
Suspected Infection or Tuberculosis: Pleural fluid analysis helps diagnose infections, tuberculosis, and inflammatory conditions affecting the pleura.
Evaluation of Cancer: Examination of pleural fluid can help detect cancer cells or determine the cause of recurrent pleural effusion.
