The procedural service, runned by Pulmonary and Critical care division is now available to perform bedside procedures  from 8 am to 4:30 pm , Monday to Friday.

 

This procedures include:

 

Lumbar puncture, Thoracentesis, Paracentesis, Central line placement (or HD catheter), arthrocentesis (Knee or elbow).

 

The goals are to train residents in the Department of Medicine, expedite turn around to have the procedures done, save cost by improving patient safety and complications, and decrease the "load" of referral to IR to perform them.

 

 

 

Thank you
