Abstract

Objective: To present the use of ultrasound guidance to perform thorax biopsies and place drainages, whether pleural or pericardial.
Method: A total of 124 ultrasound-guided procedures were performed at the Thoracic Institute, Maciel Hospital, from January 2014 to August 2022.
Results: The results were assessed based on age group, type of procedure, and diagnostic yield in the ultrasound-guided procedures. There were 69 diagnostic punctures, 48 ultrasound-guided pleural drainage placements, and 7 pericardial drainages.
Conclusions: The performance of ultrasound-guided thoracic procedures are a safe diagnostic and therapeutic tool with excellent efficacy and minimal complications.
