Test Method for Ascites in Test Tube Infants
Test tube baby ascites refers to the accumulation of excessive fluid in the abdominal cavity of babies produced by assisted reproductive technology. In order to make accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, doctors will use a variety of methods to check ascites. The following will introduce the examination methods of test tube baby ascites from four aspects: ultrasound examination, puncture examination, laboratory examination and thoracoscopy.
1、 Ultrasonic examination
Ultrasonography is a non-invasive, simple and repeatable examination method, which is the first choice to evaluate the ascites of test tube infants. In ultrasound examination, doctors can observe the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity on the screen through ultrasound, and can determine the source and extent of ascites. Doctors can measure the extent, amount and shape of ascites accumulation, and use Doppler ultrasound to assess the impact of ascites on the fetus.
In addition, ultrasound can also help doctors to determine whether there are other complications of ascites, such as organ malformation and blockage. This information is very important for determining the next treatment plan.
2、 Puncture inspection
Puncture examination is a method of taking liquid samples for analysis by inserting a needle into the abdominal cavity. For the diagnosis of test tube baby ascites, puncture examination can provide detailed test results of ascites, and help doctors determine the composition and cause of ascites.
Abdominal puncture is generally performed by experienced doctors under sterile conditions. During the puncture operation, the doctor will collect a certain amount of ascites and send it to the laboratory for testing. Through the test results, doctors can understand the protein, cell, sugar and other components in ascites, so as to determine the cause of ascites.
However, puncture inspection is a traumatic operation with certain risks, which may cause infection or traumatic injury. Therefore, when selecting and conducting puncture examinations, doctors will comprehensively consider the patient's condition and risks, and give appropriate anesthesia and analgesia measures.
3、 Laboratory inspection
Laboratory examination is to further understand the characteristics and etiology of ascites by testing and analyzing ascites samples. In laboratory tests, doctors usually carry out routine biochemical, cytological, microbiological and immunological tests.
Routine biochemistry includes determining the content of protein, sugar, enzyme and other substances in ascites, which can help doctors judge the nature and source of ascites. Cytological examination can observe the type and number of cells in ascites, thus inferring the cause of ascites. Microbiological examination can detect whether there is bacterial infection in ascites. Immunological examination can determine whether there are immune related abnormalities in ascites.
4、 Thoracoscopy
Thoracoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery. Thoracoscopy is inserted into the abdominal cavity to observe and operate abdominal organs to diagnose and treat diseases such as test tube baby ascites. Thoracoscopy can provide a clear microscopic field of vision, help doctors observe the source and nature of ascites, and can also assist in treatment.
In the thoracoscopic examination, the doctor will make a small incision at the appropriate position above or on both sides of the patient's abdominal cavity and insert the thoracoscope. Doctors can evaluate and operate ascites by observing the images on the screen, and even conduct local treatment.
summary
In the examination of test tube infant ascites, ultrasound is the first non-invasive examination method, which can provide detailed information of ascites. Puncture examination can obtain ascites samples through abdominal puncture, which can provide detailed test results of ascites. Laboratory examination is to further understand the characteristics and etiology of ascites by testing and analyzing ascites samples. Thoracoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery, which can provide a detailed microscopic field of vision and can assist in treatment.
To sum up, the above four methods are currently commonly used test tube baby ascites detection methods, and each method has its unique advantages and indications. The doctor will select appropriate examination means according to the specific situation of the patient to determine the cause of ascites and formulate the corresponding treatment plan.
