Abstract

Ultrasonography is a very good tool for guiding different interventional procedures in the chest. It is the ideal technique for managing conditions involving the pleural space, and it makes it possible to carry out procedures such as thoracocentesis, biopsies, or drainage. In the lungs, only lesions in contact with the costal pleura are accessible to ultrasound-guided interventions. In this type of lung lesions, ultrasound is as effective as computed tomography to guide interventional procedures, but the rate of complications and time required for the intervention are lower for ultrasound-guided procedures.

Resumen

La ecografía es una muy buena herramienta para la guía de los diferentes procedimientos intervencionistas del tórax. Es la técnica ideal para el manejo de las patologías del espacio pleural y permite la realización de procedimientos como la toracocentesis, la biopsia o el drenaje. En el pulmón, tan solo aquellas lesiones que contacten con la pleura costal serán accesibles al intervencionismo con guía ecográfica. En este tipo de lesiones pulmonares, la ecografía es igual de efectiva que la tomografía computarizada como guía para estas intervenciones, pero con menor tasa de complicaciones y menor tiempo de ejecución.
