Résumé
Data regarding the incidence and risk factors of pneumothorax following pre-procedural ultrasound (US)-guided thoracentesis is scarce. We aimed to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of pneumothorax following pre-procedural US-guided thoracentesis in a tertiary medical center. Retrospective analysis of patients who underwent pre-procedural US-guided thoracentesis in Sheba Medical Center between January 2016 and December 2018. Data collected included incidence of pneumothorax following thoracentesis, baseline clinical and demographic characteristics, and thoracentesis-associated factors. Outcomes evaluated included length of hospital stay, mortality, chest tube insertion and intensive care unit admission. A total of 550 patients with pleural effusions underwent pre-procedural US-guided thoracentesis. Sixty-six (12%) of them developed pneumothorax. Compared to patients who did not develop pneumothorax, those who developed pneumothorax had a higher rate of congestive heart failure (32.2% The incidence of pneumothorax following pre-procedural US-guided thoracentesis was relatively high in the present study. The amount of pleural fluid drained was the main factor associated with the risk of developing pneumothorax in these cases.

CONCLUSIONS
The incidence of pneumothorax following pre-procedural US-guided thoracentesis was relatively high in the present study. The amount of pleural fluid drained was the main factor associated with the risk of developing pneumothorax in these cases.
