Complications of thoracentesis can include pneumothorax, which is the collapse of the lung due to air entering the pleural space, and hemothorax, where blood accumulates in the pleural cavity. Other potential complications include infection at the puncture site, visceral injury, and re-expansion pulmonary edema if the pleural fluid is removed too rapidly. It is essential for the procedure to be performed by trained personnel to minimize these risks.
