Drainage journal:
21/4/23. Done with a small calibre needle without interventional radiology (IR), but did use a bedside ultrasound. 20ml drained before blockage. The initial thought was that the blockage was due to loculations (pockets of fluid, rather than a single 'bag' of fluid).
9/5/23. Assessment made for a second drain without IR. Bedside ultrasound showed no loculations, but lots of mucin. The attempt was aborted, as the doctor determined that IR was required.
19/5/23. Drain done with 14 French needle with IR. 2.8 litres drained before blockage from mucin.
8/6/23. Drain done with 8.5 French needle with IR. 1.5 litres drained before blockage from mucin.
18/6/23. Drain done via laparoscopy incision. 7.0 litres drained without blockage. The surgeon estimated he got 90% of the ascites out, which is par for the course.
30/6/23. Drain done with 16 French needle with IR. 4.2 litres drained before 90% blockage from mucin.
