Evaluation and location of the approaches is the key step of medical thoracoscopy. The previous standard for the step in many countries is artificial pneumothorax (AP). Recently, thoracic ultrasound (TU) has been considered as one of the choices for the development of technology. While there was a lack of data in investigating the complications of medical thoracoscopy locating approach with AP comparing TU.
