DescriptionThoracentesis is a procedure that is done to remove a sample of fluid from around the lung. The lung is covered with a tissue called the pleura. The inside of the chest is also lined with pleura. The space between these two areas is called the pleural space. This space normally contains just a thin layer of fluid, however, some conditions such as pneumonia, Tuberculosis, some types of cancer, or congestive heart failure, Kidney failure may cause excessive fluid to develop (pleural effusion).To remove this fluid for evaluation (testing) or to reduce the amount of fluid, a procedure called a Thoracentesis is done.
