Use of the Intracath technique for thoracentesis has been described previously. However, the addition of side holes to the catheter and water seal drainage have improved the safety and facility of thoracentesis allowing complete evacuation of the pleural space. This method has proved safe and useful for thoracentesis and occasional chemical pleurodesis in our clinical applications over the past six years.
此前已有关于使用Intracath技术进行胸腔穿刺术的描述。然而，在导管上增加侧孔以及采用水封引流，提高了胸腔穿刺术的安全性和便利性，能够使胸膜腔完全排空。在过去六年的临床应用中，这种方法已被证明用于胸腔穿刺术以及偶尔的化学性胸膜固定术是安全且有效的。
