Integrity Hospital gastroenterology department is dedicated to patient care. Ascitic tapping, also known as abdominal paracentesis, is a procedure used to remove excess fluid from the abdominal cavity, known as ascites. This procedure is often performed to relieve symptoms caused by large volumes of ascites, such as abdominal pain, discomfort, and difficulty breathing. Here's some information on ascitic tapping: Procedure: Preparation: The patient is usually positioned sitting up or lying on their back with the head of the bed elevated. The skin overlying the abdomen is cleaned and sterilized. Local Anesthesia: A local anesthetic is injected into the skin and deeper tissues to numb the area where the needle will be inserted. Needle Insertion: A needle is inserted through the abdominal wall into the peritoneal cavity under ultrasound guidance or by using landmarks. Some physicians may use a small incision to insert a catheter. Fluid Removal: Once the needle or catheter is in place, the excess fluid is drained into a collection bag. The amount of fluid removed varies depending on the patient's condition and symptoms. Monitoring: The patient's vital signs and symptoms are monitored throughout the procedure to ensure safety. Indications for Ascitic Tapping: Symptomatic ascites causing discomfort, pain, or difficulty breathing Diagnostic purposes to determine the cause of ascites To remove fluid for analysis (e.g., infection, malignancy) Therapeutic for patients with refractory ascites keywords: people ask for: most searches on: #besthospitalinnagpur #tophospitalinumredroadnagpur #besthospitalnearme #hearthospitalinnagpur #brainhospitalinnagpur #livertreatmentinnagpur #fracturehospital #brainsurgeryhospitalinnagpur #kidneystoneoperation #jaundicetreatment #pneumoniatreatment #paralysishospital #physiotherapyhospital #brainattackhospital #fevertreatment #xrayfacility #2decho #privateroominhospital #burntreatment #accidenthospital #traumahospital #hospitalinsakkardara
