Insertion of a Chest Tube or Needle Aspiration

Needle Aspiration treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore

It is likely that a chest tube or needle will be used to remove excess air from your lungs if the collapsed lung area is large.

  • Needle Aspiration: In this needle aspiration treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore, a hollow needle with a small, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted between the ribs into the air-filled space that is pressing on the collapsed lung. As soon as the needle has been removed, the doctor inserts a syringe into the catheter and removes the excess air. It may be necessary to keep the catheter in place for a few hours to ensure that the lung is re-expanded and that the pneumothorax does not recur.

  • Insertion of the Chest Tube

When the lungs re-expand and heal, a flexible chest tube is introduced into the air-filled cavity and attached to a device that constantly empties the chest cavity of air. Book an appointment at Manipal Hospitals now.
