Culdocentesis - Resultados

Valores normales:

Lo normal es no encontrar líquido en el fondo de saco o encontrar una cantidad muy pequeña de líquido transparente.

Significado de los resultados anormales:

Aun cuando no se encuentre líquido, éste puede estar presente y serán necesarios otros exámenes. Si se extrae líquido, se hace un cultivo para ver si la persona tiene una infección. Si se encuentra sangre no coagulada en el fondo de saco, se puede requerir una cirugía de emergencia.
