Percutaneous CT-guided lung interventions-local pleural anesthesia.
Local pleural anesthesia during percutaneous lung interventions is an important part of the procedure that has not been standardized in the literature. Significant pain can be experienced during lung biopsies, which may affect the outcome of intervention. We describe a step-by-step method of anesthesia targeting the most sensitive anatomical structure involved: the parietal pleura.
