Introduction
Paracentesis is a common medical procedure used to remove or examine ascitic fluid accumulated in the abdominal cavity. This procedure requires professional expertise, and if needed, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician to avoid unnecessary bodily harm due to improper operation. In daily life, ensure adequate rest and avoid strenuous physical activity.
Generally, paracentesis is a common medical procedure used to drain or examine ascitic fluid accumulated in the abdominal cavity. The specific steps are as follows:
1. The patient lies flat in a comfortable position with the abdomen exposed.
2. The puncture site is located using color ultrasound. The skin around the puncture site is then routinely disinfected and locally anesthetized.
3. After anesthesia takes effect, the puncture needle is inserted into the designated site and gradually advanced into the abdominal cavity until reaching the location where ascitic fluid is to be drawn.
4. A guidewire is passed through the needle into the abdominal cavity. The needle is then withdrawn, and a catheter is inserted along the guidewire and secured in place.
5. After completion of fluid drainage, the catheter is removed, and the wound site is treated and sutured as needed.
This procedure requires professional expertise. If this procedure is required, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and have it performed under the guidance of a qualified physician to avoid unnecessary bodily harm due to improper technique. In daily life, adequate rest is advised, and strenuous physical activity should be avoided.
