Bedside Ultrasound in Detection of Pneumothorax Post Transthoracic Lung Biopsy

NCT03397290 | Completed

Brief Summary

Currently chest X-ray (CXR) is the modality used to assess for pneumothorax after transthoracic lung biopsy at the Ottawa Hospital. Recently bedside Ultrasound (US) has become a useful rapid imaging modality to assess chest for pneumothorax in emergency rooms with reported sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy were 88%, 97% and 97%, respectively (ref. 2). Our team will be comparing the diagnostic accuracy of US to CXR in diagnoses of pneumothorax post transthoracic lung biopsy. The purpose of the study is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of US to CXR post-biopsy to confirm the presence of a pneumothorax.

Conditions

Pneumothorax

Keywords

Chest X-ray; Ultrasound

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Diagnostic Accuracy

  To determine if the sensitivity and specificity of US is equal or better than routine CXR in diagnosing pneumothorax post lung biopsy.

  One year
