摘要： The present invention features devices that can be used to extract ascites and other fluids from the body with a minimally invasive procedure and, if desired, can also be used to flush the cavity (e.g., the abdominal cavity) from which the fluids were removed. The devices also permit characterization of the fluids in that a surgeon or other health care provider can conveniently obtain a sample of the fluids to assess their composition. The amount of fluid removed from a cavity can also be determined. While the present devices and procedures are not limited to those that bring about any particular physiological response, we believe they will help maintain blood flow and prevent the accumulation of toxins and inflammatory cytokines in bodily cavities, such as the abdominal cavity. We may refer to the devices of the invention as MIST, as they allow for minimally invasive suction and treatment.

摘要翻译： 本发明的特征在于可以用微创程序从体内提取腹水和其它流体的装置，并且如果需要的话也可以用来冲洗除去流体的空腔（例如，腹腔）。 该装置还允许表征流体，因为外科医生或其他保健提供者可以方便地获得流体样本以评估其组成。 还可以确定从空腔移除的流体的量。 虽然本发明的装置和程序不限于那些产生任何特定生理反应的装置和程序，但是我们相信它们将有助于维持血液流动并防止毒素和炎性细胞因子在诸如腹腔的体腔中积累。 我们可以将本发明的装置称为MIST，因为它们允许微创的吸入和治疗。
