The procedure in which synovial fluid is removed for analysis is called arthrocentesis or joint aspiration. It involves using a needle and syringe to extract a small amount of synovial fluid from the joint space. The collected fluid is then sent to a laboratory for analysis to diagnose and monitor various joint conditions or diseases.
Pericardiocentesis is the removal by needle of pericardial fluid from the sac surrounding the heart for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
It is called pericardiocentesis. This procedure involves withdrawing fluid from the pericardial sac surrounding the heart using a needle to relieve pressure or collect a sample for analysis.
The embryo or fetus is contained in a sac filled with amniotic fluid, commonly referred to as the bag of water.
The tube left in the abdomen after a paracentesis is called an abdominal drain. It helps to drain any residual fluid or prevent fluid buildup after the procedure, reducing the risk of complications such as infection or fluid reaccumulation. The drain is typically removed once the fluid drainage has decreased to an acceptable level.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is typically collected through a procedure called a lumbar puncture or spinal tap. During this procedure, a needle is inserted into the lower back to collect a sample of CSF from the subarachnoid space surrounding the spinal cord. This sample can then be analyzed for diagnostic purposes.
Cerebrospinal fluid is extracted from the subarachnoid space in the brain and spinal cord through a procedure called a lumbar puncture, also known as a spinal tap.
