No, pneumocentesis and thoracentesis are not the same procedure. Thoracentesis is a procedure to remove fluid from the pleural space around the lungs, often to relieve symptoms or analyze the fluid. Pneumocentesis, on the other hand, refers specifically to the aspiration of air from the pleural cavity, typically performed to treat a pneumothorax. While both involve the chest cavity, they target different substances and conditions.
