Pericardial Fluid for Gram Stain

This test examines fluid from the pericardium (the heart's outer lining) to identify bacterial infections. Preparation involves anesthesia and sterile technique for fluid extraction. The procedure, called a pericardiocentesis, uses a needle to collect fluid. Risks include infection, bleeding, and injury to nearby structures. After the test, patients may experience mild discomfort or bruising. Results show the presence and type of bacteria, guiding treatment. A positive Gram stain indicates infection, while a negative result may require further testing. Conditions like heart disease, infection, or previous surgery can affect test accuracy.
