Lung puncture is generally suitable for patients who are found to have abnormal lung conditions after physical examination or medical treatment. Before puncture, the doctor needs to evaluate the patient's imaging manifestations in detail, including the condition of the lungs, the physical condition of the body, the puncture risks around the lesion, etc. In addition, laboratory evaluation is also required, including evaluation of platelets and coagulation function. During the puncture process, anesthetics are needed. Therefore, an electrocardiogram assessment and whether there is any allergy to anesthetics, etc. must be performed before the puncture.
