Needle biopsy

2023-02-08 02:51:35
My mother is 69 year old with a lung mass on her right lung that needs needle biopsy.. It has central location so there is risk involved of pneumothorax.. But one Superspeciality hospital agreed to do this Biopsy on an OPD basic and said they would keep my mother under observation for an hour after the biopsy and there is no need to admit herbeforehand.. My question is that should we go for this or should we admit her and then do it? When we do it as an outpatient test, If anything goes wrong such as pneumothorax, will there be same preparation by doctor to take care of it as it is while the patient is admitted? Please tell 🙏

Because of the lump location and elderly age is better to admit the patient and then do the procedure. Followed by stay under observation.

It is always better to admit and do,when risk is involved. Pl consult pulmonologist for further evaluation and treatment.

They will keep everything ready to deal with Pneumothorax. Before sending patient they will recheck if there is any Pneumo. No need to worry.
