  • Paracentesis, also known as ascitic
    tapping procedure, is a minimally invasive
    procedure performed to remove excess fluid
    (ascites) from the abdominal cavity. This fluid
    build-up can occur due to various liver diseases,
    cirrhosis, heart failure, or even cancer.
  • At PACE Hospitals, our team of
    experienced gastroenterologists and surgeons are
    adept at performing paracentesis with utmost
    precision and care. This article will provide you
    with an overview of the paracentesis procedure at
    PACE Hospitals, including its indications,
    benefits, and the steps involved.

Indications for Paracentisis
  • Paracentesis is recommended for both diagnostic
    and therapeutic purposes
  • ?Diagnostic To analyze the ascitic fluid for the
    presence of infection, cancer cells, or other
    abnormalities. This helps in diagnosing the
    underlying cause of ascites.
  • ?Therapeutic To relieve symptoms such as
    abdominal pain, discomfort, breathlessness, and
    nausea caused by the accumulated fluid. In severe
    cases, paracentesis can also be used to prevent
    complications like spontaneous bacterial
    peritonitis.

Steps Involved in Paracentesis at PACE Hospitals
  • 1.Pre-procedure evaluation Your doctor will
    assess your medical history, perform a physical
    examination, and may order blood tests to ensure
    you are fit for the procedure.
  • 2.Ultrasound guidance Ultrasound imaging is used
    to locate the fluid pockets and determine the
    safest area for needle insertion.
  • 3.Local anesthesia Anesthesia is administered
    around the puncture site to numb the area.
  • 4.Needle insertion A thin needle or catheter is
    inserted into the abdominal cavity under
    ultrasound guidance to drain the fluid.
  • 5.Fluid drainage The fluid is slowly drained
    into a collection bag. The amount of fluid
    drained depends on your individual condition and
    symptoms.
  • 6.Monitoring Throughout the procedure, your
    vital signs and overall well-being are closely
    monitored.
  • 7.Recovery After the procedure, you will be

    same day or may need to stay in the hospital for
    a short period depending on your condition.
