===Procedure===
===Metodología===
El lugar apropiado para la punción se establece teniendo en cuenta algunas referencias anatómicas: 7-8 espacio intercostal por el lado izquierdo, o 6-7 espacio intercostal por el lado derecho; en ambos casos, a medio camino entre el hombro y el codo.
The site for thoracocentesis can be identified using anatomical landmarks; '''7-8th intercostal space''' on the '''left''' or '''6-7th intercostal space''' on the '''right''' '''midway between the shoulder and the elbow'''. For more reliable identification of the correct position for thoracocentesis '''ultrasound''' can be used. As there are vessels and nerves running along the caudal aspect of each rib, the cannula should aim for the '''cranial border of the rib''' in order to avoid damage to these structures.
