| A diagnostic paracentesis was performed and revealed blood and blood clot, consistent with a resolving hematoma. |
|
| Patients with new-onset ascites or clinical deterioration should undergo paracentesis. |
|
| In patients with cirrhosis, ascites is treated with paracentesis and spironolactone. |
|
| The common potentially reversible causes are sepsis, excessive diuresis or paracentesis, and nephrotoxic drugs. |
|
| A paracentesis done upon admission to the hospital was negative for tumor cells. |
|
| There was a statistically significant 2.4-fold lengthening of time to first repeat paracentesis with aflibercept as compared to placebo. |
|
| Lack of antibiotic-induced clinical improvement is an indication for repeat diagnostic paracentesis. |
|
| Factor concentrate replacement will also be necessary prior to invasive procedures such as paracentesis, TIPS insertion, etc. |
|
| Large volume paracentesis is not first line therapy for all patients with tense ascites. |
|
| In eyes after PPV, bevacizumab was injected intracamerally through a paracentesis. |
|
| Peritoneal or pleural fluid is typically obtained by paracentesis or thoracocentesis. |
|
| Like many treatments, paracentesis may present its own burden on the body. |
|
| Patient-reported symptoms of ascites, including abdominal discomfort, pain, and bloating, as well as patients' ability to move, were recorded daily from the time of randomization to the time of first repeat paracentesis. |
|
| All patients were offered the opportunity to receive open-label aflibercept after 60 days of double-blind treatment provided that at least one post-randomization paracentesis had occurred. |
|
| At late stages of the illness, paracentesis may no longer be a benefit. |
