“…The authors routinely perform TUS examination following any pleural intervention to screen for any complications that may occur early in their course which facilitates appropriate and timely management. Post-intervention bleeding can be noted either on Doppler scanning [45] or occasionally as spreading echogenic material from the puncture site [46]. Early recognition expedites management and minimises the potential for harm to the patient [34].…”

Physician-led thoracic ultrasound (TUS) has substantially changed how respiratory disorders, and in particular pleural diseases, are managed. The use of TUS as a point-of-care test enables the respiratory physician to quickly and accurately diagnose pleural pathology and ensure safe access to the pleural space during thoracentesis or chest drain insertion. Competence in performing TUS is now an obligatory part of respiratory speciality training programmes in different parts of the world. Pleural physicians with higher levels of competence routinely use TUS during the planning and execution of more sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, such as core needle pleural biopsies, image-guided drain insertion and medical thoracoscopy. Current research is gauging the potential of TUS in predicting the outcome of different pleural interventions and how it can aid in tailoring the optimum treatment according to different TUS-based parameters.
