Guide. Thoracentesis is a procedure to remove fluid from the space between the lungs and the chest wall called the pleural space. It is done with a needle (and sometimes a plastic catheter) inserted through the chest wall.Ultrasound pictures are often used to guide the placement of the needle.ormally only a small amount of pleural fluid is present in the pleural space. A buildup of excess pleural fluid (pleural effusion) may be caused by many conditions, such as infection, inflammation, heart failure, or cancer. If a large amount of fluid is present, it may be hard to breathe.
A needle is placed through the skin and muscles of the chest wall into the space around the lungs, called the pleural space. Pleural fluid is then collected and sent to the laboratory for testing. Thoracentesis usually takes 10â15 minutes, but it may take longer if there is a large quantity of fluid to be drained. Following the procedure, the results of the fluid lab tests will be sent to your doctor.
