Abstract
Conclusion: TS is a cost-effective and safe bed-side-method, allowing for an immediate exclusion or diagnosis of post-interventional pneumothorax/hydropneumothorax in patients who have undergone TBB or U-GCTP. Thus, these preliminary results suggest that CXR may only be required in patients with pneumothorax diagnosed by TS in order to assess its extension or to exclude any discrepancy between the TS-result and the clinical presentation.
