Role of Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis of Pneumothorax Following Transbronchial Biopsy in LungTransplant Patients.
Bedside ultrasonography for detection of pneumothorax after transbronchial lung biopsies in
lung transplant patients
lung transplant patients
The patients who undergo transbronchial forceps lung biopsies get a routine CXR after the
biopsies are performed. The reason for CXR is to find out if pneumothorax occurred or not.
CXR is required patient transportation and interpretation by the radiologist as well as time
consuming. Instead, we are planning to perform bedside ultrasound to determine if
pneumothorax occurred or not
