Ascites drains keep leaking fluid outward, which may be caused by diseases such as cirrhosis, or it may be a problem with the drains themselves. Patients can be treated with medication, surgery, etc., or the drain can be replaced promptly. Ascites may be caused by cirrhosis, peritonitis and other diseases. If the primary disease is not well controlled after the drain is placed, ascites continues to be produced and the intra-abdominal pressure increases, it can lead to leakage of fluid out of the drain. It is necessary to treat these primary diseases to minimize the production of ascites. If the drain is not properly secured to the surrounding skin and subcutaneous tissues when it is inserted, a gap may form, and fluid may continue to seep out of the drain. The drain can be re-secured or replaced with a suitable drain to minimize the leakage of ascites. After placing an ascites drain, nursing care should be strengthened, especially if the fluid keeps leaking out, sterilization and other work should be done to avoid abdominal infection and other adverse consequences.
