From a subcostal, following the needle is very difficult. You can obtain a subcostal view and then approximate your needle path and distance, but visualizing the actual needle tip and path very difficult. This is the primary reason I advocate the above approach in most scenarios.
Hi, can you share the probe position on the patient - with all the drapes it's hard to see how you placed the probe and navigated the ribs. May be a video on a normal subject to just show the external probe manipulation, lung sliding would be of great help
Thank you sharing. I have been looking extensively for a video of paracentesis that explains what I have been wondering about.
please made a video about echo guided pericaridiocentesis from subcostal view . thanks so much
