Needle Biopsy

2023-01-05 18:00:07
My 67 yr old mother has decided to go for needle biopsy after listening to all the advice from all doctors but she has a regular cough.. I'm worried that what would happen if she coughs during the procedure? Should we do something or will the doctor doing the procedure do something about this? We have ten days left, any precautions we should take before going in?

give cough supressants prior to biopsy..and xylocain nebs too if required..if it's a lung biopsy we are talking then depending on the site there's chances of pneumothorax which increases if she coughs a lot during procedure
