Procedure details had previously been entered in an electronic database in a prospective manner on the day of procedure. Baseline information included age, gender, race, etiology of cirrhosis, and biochemical profile performed at a date closest to LVP to calculate the Childs Pugh Class and MELD score. Information on the practitioner performing LVP (physician or NP), number of attempts, and volume of ascites removed were recorded. Complications including post paracentesis hypotension, bleeding, local leakage of ascitic fluid, local site infection, secondary bacterial peritonitis, perforation, and death were compared between the two groups. Post paracentesis hypotension was defined as a decrease in systolic blood pressure ≥ 20 mmHg after paracentesis. In the two groups analyzed, paracentesis was performed either by a single gastroenterology (GI) NP, or by a first or second year GI fellow. The GI NP completed 10 supervised paracentesis prior to performing them independently. The gastroenterology fellows, who had previously completed 3 years of internal medicine training, had prior experience in large volume paracentesis in their respective residency programs. The project was approved by the local IRB.</p><p id="p0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Informed consent was obtained prior to each paracentesis. The Safe-T Centesis 6 Fr Catheter Drainage Tray (Cardinal Health Inc., Dublin, OH) was the kit routinely used for procedures. A standard technique for paracentesis was used.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> Patients were positioned comfortably in the supine position with the head of bed elevated to 20-30 degrees. Ultrasound guidance was not used either by the NP or the fellows. Physical examination was used to choose either a right lower quadrant (RLQ) or left lower quadrant (LLQ) site. The abdominal wall was percussed to determine the level of dullness. An optimal site 2 to 4 cm medial and cephalad to the anterior superior iliac spine in the RLQ or LLQ was always chosen. Care was taken to avoid far lateral sites, areas of superficial infection or previous scarring, and engorged veins. Universal precautions with regard to handling of needles and body fluids was observed. A clean gown and sterile gloves was always used. The skin around the site selected for puncture was prepared with 3 povidone iodine swab sticks. The fenestrated drape accompanying the kit was used to form a sterile field. Local anesthetic in the form of 1% lidocaine hydrochloride USP was drawn up into a 10 mL syringe and administered subcutaneously using a 25-G x 1 ½” needle to form a wheal. The wheal site was punctured with a 22-G x 1 ½” needle, injecting and aspirating while advancing the needle deeper into the soft tissue. Upon entering the peritoneal cavity, and aspirating ascites, injection of lidocaine was discontinued. A small stab wound was made with the scalpel provided in the kit. The 6 Fr 20 cm Safe-T Centesis catheter with multiple side holes, over a metal introducer needle, was then inserted in the same tract until ascitic fluid was aspirated. The introducer needle was removed leaving the catheter (pig tail shape) in the peritoneal cavity. The drainage tubing with needle was connected for attachment to 1 liter vacuum bottles. After the desired amount of fluid was obtained, the catheter was removed, and pressure was applied to the puncture site for a short period prior to application of a bandage. Intravenous albumin 25% solution at 8 g/L was replaced for ascites greater than or equal to 5 L removed.</p><p id="p0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">All patients were followed in both the NP continuity clinic and physician (GI fellow or attending) continuity clinic. All GI fellow clinics are staffed by an attending GI physician. The typical paradigm is that patients are followed more frequently in the NP clinic with follow-up every one to two months, while being seen in the physician clinic every three to four months. Details of the visit and changes in treatment plan by the NP are always sent to the physician through electronic medical records.</p></span><span id="sec0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0025">Results</span><p id="p0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A total of 489 procedures (245 by NP and 244 by physicians) were recorded in 84 patients.

In terms of complications, there was no statistical difference whether LVP was performed by the NP or by a physician (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#t0010">Table 2</a>).

Three procedures in the physician group were complicated by infection (2 secondary bacterial peritonitis, 1 local site infection) compared with two (1 secondary bacterial peritonitis, 1 local site infection) in the NP group.

To date, there is not literature available analyzing the role of NPs in performing paracentesis. A study from Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> showed that gastrointestinal endoscopy assistants can safely perform paracentesis with adequate training. They recommend an optimal number of 10 supervised procedures for an operator to learn paracentesis. Authors concluded that ultrasound is rarely required, routine correction of coagulopathy and thrombocytopenia is not required, and that there is a significant saving in physician time without any increased patient risk.</p><p id="p0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">When performing any procedure, the diagnostic accuracy and safety must be considered. The role of NPs in performing flexible sigmoidoscopy has been extensively studied, including accuracy and safety. In a study from the UK, Goodfellow, <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">et al</span>. showed that an experienced NP, trained in flexible sigmoidoscopy had a 99% procedure completion rate.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> Training before performing independent procedures is of paramount importance. This NP initially had observed 35 procedures, then had withdrawn the endoscope in next 35, and finally performed 35 supervised procedures before performing them independently. Similarly, in a study assessing accuracy of polyp detection,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> the three nurse endoscopists involved in the study completed 100 supervised flexible sigmoidoscopies in a standard training program. In this study, there was no difference found in detection of adenomatous polyps or frequency of complications.</p><p id="p0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In an already financially scrutinized healthcare system, the use of NPs may also be cost effective. Wallace, <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">et al</span>. showed that the cost per flexible sigmoidoscopy, including the training cost, was lower for NPs compared to physicians.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> Another study by Niv, <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">et al</span>.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a> in which an experienced gastroenterology nurse reviewed capsule endoscopy and thumbnailed abnormalities for the physician to review, also showed a savings in cost per examination. In this study, the accuracy of detecting abnormalities was also high with 96.9% interobserver agreement for lesions categorized as “significant” by the physician. In the cost analysis, a potential savings of 57% of the cost of examination was calculated, mainly from less time the physician spends reading the study. Additionally, studies of NPs working in primary care<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> and performing hysteroscopy<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> show high levels of patient satisfaction for the care they are receiving.</p><p id="p0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Paracentesis is a procedure in the armamentarium of physicians trained in internal medicine. As patients with cirrhosis decompensate, they may need more frequent LVP to alleviate symptoms. Patients needing paracentesis however may have a difficult time finding a provider to perform this procedure, and are often admitted to the hospital for this routine procedure. Time constraints in outpatient medicine make it difficult for physicians to find a substantial amount of time to perform paracentesis.</p><p id="p0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Complications in our study are comparable to the reported literature with similar rates of bleeding, leakage, and peritonitis.
