| Core Tip |
Medical thoracoscopy for pleural biopsy gives excellent yields exceeding 90% but patients may require hospitalization, which increases logistic and cost barriers. Case series are now available to support the effective and safe performance of outpatient medical thoracoscopy though these do not provide detailed principal considerations, procedural tips, and periprocedural recommendations. Using a case example, this paper aims to illustrate the principal periprocedural considerations for outpatient medical thoracoscopy and provide appropriate recommendations. |
