Análisis del líquido sinovial - Risks

Nombres alternativos

Análisis de líquido en las articulaciones; Aspiración de líquido articular

Riesgos:

Infección de la articulación (poco común, sin embargo se presenta más usualmente cuando las aspiraciones se hacen de manera repetitiva)
Sangrado en el espacio articular

Consideraciones:

Se pueden aplicar compresas de hielo o compresas frías en la articulación por 24 a 36 horas después del examen para reducir la inflamación y el dolor articular. Dependiendo del tipo exacto de problema, usted probablemente pueda reanudar las actividades normales después del procedimiento. Hable con el médico para determinar qué actividad es más apropiada en su caso.
