Pleural effusion or ascites means abnormal fluid accumulation in the chest or abdominal cavity,
which can cause shortness of breath or abdominal distension.
In such cases, PCD (Percutaneous Catheter Drainage) can safely drain the fluid and relieve symptoms.
PCD Procedure
PCD inserts a thin catheter through the skin to
drain pleural effusion or ascites outside the body.
It is minimally invasive and can quickly improve breathing difficulty and abdominal discomfort.
When PCD Is Needed
01
Ascites Drainage
Performed when fluid
accumulates abnormally in the abdominal cavity.
02
Pleural Effusion Drainage
Performed when fluid
accumulates abnormally in the pleural space.
03
Abscess Drainage
Performed when pus has collected in the body
and must be evacuated.
Drainage Catheter Precautions
Avoid kinking or dislodging the catheter
If discharged with the catheter in place, disinfect every 1–2 days
Keep the drainage bag always below the insertion site
If you notice any of the following,
please contact the hospital.
Catheter is blocked or has come out
