Fluid Sampling & Drainage
Ascitic tap may be used to sample or drain abdominal fluid when clinically indicated. Not every person with ascites requires a tap.
Understanding the Procedure
The procedure accesses selected abdominal fluid for diagnostic sampling or drainage based on clinical advice.
Ultrasound may be used to identify a suitable fluid pocket and support planning.
Before diagnostic sampling
Ascitic Tap is considered after the referral, symptoms and relevant imaging have been reviewed. The procedure team needs to confirm that the proposed approach addresses the treating clinician’s question and is appropriate for the target anatomy.
Previous ultrasound, CT, MRI, angiography or laboratory reports may change planning. Bring the most recent records and a current medicine list so preparation can be individualised.
Fasting, blood tests, medicine instructions, local anaesthesia, sedation and observation vary by procedure. Do not stop prescribed medicines unless the treating or procedure team provides specific advice.
Recovery and follow-up depend on the treated area and clinical condition. The procedure report should be reviewed with the treating team together with symptoms, laboratory findings and subsequent imaging where advised.
Image Guidance

Procedure workflow
The referral, ultrasound and blood reports are reviewed.
A suitable fluid pocket is identified where appropriate.
Fluid is collected under appropriate precautions.
Samples and clinical review follow the prescription.
