Abdominal puncture tube site
Jan 15, 2023
The location of the abdominal puncture tube is generally in the bilateral lower abdominal McGillian point, that is, the middle and outside 1/3 of the line between the umbilicus and the anterior superior iliac spine. In fact, the point of the catheter for abdominal puncture is not fixed, because ultrasound guidance or CT guidance is recommended for most abdominal puncture, the main purpose of which is to avoid the surrounding dilated intestinal tube, because patients who need abdominal puncture usually have abdominal pain and abdominal distension. In order to reduce the possibility of inserting the needle into the intestinal tube, ultrasonic positioning must be performed before puncture. As much as possible to avoid bowel impact on the puncture site.
With the continuous progress of ultrasonic technology and the continuous improvement of ultrasonic equipment, it can be guided by ultrasound to avoid the intestinal tube, so as to achieve the purpose of puncture abdominal fluid. In addition, some special catheters can extract free fluid from the abdominal cavity as far as possible, which is very beneficial to relieve abdominal pressure and control abdominal infection. Therefore, it is safe and reliable to perform puncture after ultrasonic guidance or ultrasonic positioning.
