Brief Summary
Paracentesis is a commonly performed procedure in the inpatient and outpatient settings for treatment of ascites. The most frequent complication of paracentesis is fluid leak. Risk for this complication can be reduced by following the Z-track technique; however, fluid leaks still occur causing significant morbidity. 2-Octyl cyanoacrylate (2-OCA, Dermabond manufactured by Ethicon Inc) skin adhesive has been used for years for skin closure for wounds from surgical incisions including punctures from minimally invasive surgery and simple trauma lacerations.

Interventions
High viscosity Dermabond is a sterile, liquid topical skin adhesive containing monomeric (2-OCA) formulation and the colorant D \& C Violet # 2. The product has a syrup-like in viscosity and polymerizes within minutes when applied to the skin. 2-OCA is an effective barrier against microbial penetration by Gram-positive (inc. methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative motile and nonmotile species as long the as the film is intact (11-13). The high viscosity of Dermabond is intended to reduce the risk of unintended placement of the adhesive during the application process to other body parts, patient's clothing or in between the skin layers in the wound, which can result in delayed wound healing.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Inpatients at Methodist Dallas Medical Center (MDMC) ≥18 years of age with ascites requiring therapeutic paracentesis performed by the procedure team at the bedside.
You may not qualify if:
- Paracentesis procedures performed in the interventional radiology department or by physicians outside of the procedure team.
- Patients who undergo a liver transplant surgery or other abdominal surgeries within 48 hours from the paracentesis procedure.
- Patients that undergo paracentesis using a device or kit other than the 18 gauge Safe-T-Centesis kit
