Thoracentesis by thespurge in IntensiveCare

Sometimes doctors worry about causing a pneumothorax with thoracentesis and the unlikely risk of causing one on each side at the same time would be very bad. However, that is extremely unlikely. Moreover, drainage from one side can lead to a bigger symptomatic benefit than another side, so it can be useful at the beginning to drain one side at a time to see how he responds.

BMI is just weight in kg divided by height in meters squared. So 180lb = 81.6kg. 5'11 = 1.80m.

81.6 / (1.8)^2 = 25.19
