NCT05278013

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Access topical 2-OCA application

    To assess if topical 2-OCA application for skin closure would prevent post-paracentesis fluid leaks.

    up to 1 year

  • Access the rate of complications

    Assess the rate of complications after topical 2-OCA application post-paracentesis such as skin infections, peritonitis, perforation of viscus, and bleeding.

    up to 1 year

  • Access post-paracentesis fluid leaks

    Incidence of post-paracentesis fluid leaks within 48 hours of paracentesis and topical 2-OCA application

    up to 1 year

  • Incidence of bleeding from site

    local irritation/burning, infections, and/or perforation within 48 hours post-procedure and topical 2-OCA application.

    up to 1 year.

  • Number of participants with complications from paracentesis procedure

    Cellulitis, peritonitis, bleeding, perforated viscus

    up to 1 year

  • Number of participants with Evidence of Skin Reactions

    itching, burning, sensation, redness, dermatitis

    up to 1 year

Study Arms (2)

Glue Group (GG)

EXPERIMENTAL

Randomization will take place utilizing serial randomization to Glue Group (GG) and No Glue Group (NG) where skin closure will be assigned serially to a week of GG alternating with a week NG.

Other: Dermabond

No Glue Group (NG)

NO INTERVENTION

Randomization will take place utilizing serial randomization to Glue Group (GG) and No Glue Group (NG) where skin closure will be assigned serially to a week of GG alternating with a week NG.

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.

Model Details: For the GG, the puncture site edges will be approximated between the index and thumb fingers of the practitioner. After ensuring that the puncture edges are approximated, at least two layers of 2-OCA will be applied topically over the skin to cover the puncture site. At least 30 seconds will be allowed for each layer to dry before application of the second layer. For the NG, the puncture area will be covered using the occlusive dressing supplied in the Safe-T-Centesis kit after catheter withdrawal and cleaning/drying of the skin.
