Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change over time of stroke-volume (milliliter) before, under and after paracentesis

    Baseline Monitoring 10 minutes before paracentesis, under paracentesis, 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after paracentesis

    10 minutes prior to start of paracentesis and 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 12 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours after start of paracentesis

  • Change over time of arterial pressure (millimeter of mercury) before, under and after paracentesis

    Baseline Monitoring 10 minutes before paracentesis, under paracentesis, 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after paracentesis

    10 minutes prior to start of paracentesis and 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 12 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours after start of paracentesis

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of adverse effects

    Over the full time of paracentesis, 12 hours and 48 hours and up to 2 weeks after paracentesis
