Therapeutic Pleural Tapping at Sooriya Diagnostic, Kathmandu, is a procedure designed to remove excess fluid from the pleural cavity, providing relief from pleural effusion. This procedure is commonly performed to alleviate symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest discomfort, and difficulty breathing caused by fluid buildup between the lungs and chest wall.

Under ultrasound guidance, a needle is inserted into the pleural space to drain the accumulated fluid. The use of ultrasound ensures precision and minimizes the risk of complications, allowing for a safe and effective procedure. Removing the fluid can significantly improve respiratory function and comfort for patients suffering from pleural effusion due to conditions such as heart failure, infections, or cancer.

The therapeutic approach focuses on relieving symptoms and improving the patient's quality of life while addressing the underlying cause of the fluid buildup. The collected fluid is often analyzed to determine the nature of the effusion, which helps guide further treatment.

This procedure is essential for individuals experiencing significant pleural effusion symptoms, enhancing comfort and providing a crucial step in treatment. Trust Sooriya Diagnostic for precise and effective therapeutic pleural tapping services.
