Effect of Saline Sealing After CT-Guided Lung Biopsy on Pneumothorax and Hemoptysis
Sealing the needle trace with saline significantly reduced the incidences of pneumothorax and chest tube insertion due to pneumothorax. Moreover, it did not significantly increase the incidence of pulmonary hemorrhage or hemoptysis. This technique is recommended for use in CT-guided lung biopsies.
