What is the paracentesis?
Paracentesis is a medical procedure to remove fluid that has gathered in the abdomen or abdomen. This can be done for several reasons, but mainly for the condition known as Ascites, which specifically refers to the accumulation of abdominal fluid. Other reasons for the procedure include testing, diagnosis, assessment of damage and pain relief from various factors such as cancer or trauma into the area. It can usually be done in a medical office as well as in a hospital or alert if necessary. If the factors that caused the accumulation of fluid in the abdomen are not known, a fluid sample will usually be sent to an external laboratory for testing.
Paracentesis, which undergoes paracentesis, will have to lie down with his abdomen. The area where the needle enters must be treated with antiseptic and dull anesthetic. The needle is inserted with a housing or tube that remains once the needle is removed. MiddleBy taking this case, the liquid is extracted and exhausted into a bottle or other container. Paracentesis will usually include little or no pain, except that it is caused by the liquid itself, which is often released by the removal of liquid. The patient's blood pressure must also be monitored during the procedure as a decrease in this diagnosis may mean a complication.
The common reason for the accumulation of fluids and the need for paracentesis is the abdominal infection caused by bacteria. The fluid can also be caused by certain types of cancer, which strengthens the importance of testing after the procedure. Severe trauma on the abdomen can also cause fluid accumulation and the liquid must be tested often to evaluate the amount of damage to the surrounding internal organs. You can become dangerous, not extremely unpleasant or painful when it is not treated.
Some factors may affect the ability to perform paracentesis. The presence of drugs such as blood thinners in the patient's systemBefore surgery, it can lead to delay. The pregnant patient may also require the physician to perform the procedure differently, unless at all. Some diagnosis, such as blood tests, may be administered before paracentesis to avoid unnecessary complications.
