The needle is then removed, leaving the plastic sheath behind to allow drainage of the fluid. The fluid can be drained by gravity or by connection to a vacuum bottle. Up to 11 litres of fluid may be drained during the procedure.

MUAC, arm muscle and sub-cutaneous fat, are both important determinants of survival in starvation. MUAC is less affected than weight and height based indices (eg WHZ, WHM, BMI) by the localised accumulation of fluid (ie bipedal or nutritional oedema, periorbital oedema, and ascites) common in famine and is a more sensitive index of tissue atrophy than low body weight. It is also relatively independent of height and body-shape. Visit the MUAC Community Website at muac.org - ... MUAC Mid Upper ...
Paracentesis Paracentesis is a procedure to take out fluid that has collected in the belly (peritoneal fluid). This fluid buildup is called ascites. Ascites may be caused by infection, inflammation, an injury, or other conditions, such as cirrhosis or cancer. The fluid is taken out using a long, thin needle put through the belly. The fluid is sent to a lab and studied to find the cause of the fluid buildup. Paracentesis also may be done to take the fluid out to relieve belly pressure or pain ...
