What Are The Risks Of Lung Puncture Needles

The risks of pulmonary puncture mainly lie in the following: first, puncturing blood vessels and causing intra-pulmonary hemorrhage or hemothorax; second, puncturing pleura and excessive alveoli and forming pneumothorax, that is, gas entering the chest; third, it may cause infection. Generally speaking, the incidence of bleeding is very high in CT-guided pulmonary mass puncture, almost all of them. The key is to see the amount of blood. A small amount of blood can be absorbed by itself, but a large amount cannot. The same goes for a pneumothorax. For example, elderly men, with a history of smoking, or a history of slow collateral, combined with emphysema, etc., have poor lung function and poor lung elasticity, and the proportion of hemothorax, intra-pulmonary hemorrhage or pneumothorax is very high.
