Pleural puncture is an important technique but not difficult to perform. It is a mandatory requirement for emergency doctors to understand in order to release the patient's pleural cavity from air pressure by inserting a needle or catheter through the chest wall to drain the air out, restoring the integrity of the pleural cavity, helping the lungs expand, and restoring respiratory function.

Pneumothorax or pleural effusion are considered common respiratory diseases today. One of the methods to treat this disease is to open the pleura and place a pleural drainage tube. Minimal pleural drainage is a measure to release the compressed pleural cavity, requiring clear indications and following a specific procedure.
