\n\t\tReLief: non-hospital based ascitic fluid drainage\n\t<\/h4>\n\t
Patients with refractory ascites currently require frequent hospital visits to drain ascitic fluid and current home-based options are either costly or have high risks of complications. Our project aims to simplify home-based drainage of ascitic fluid using Pleurx for patients to reduce frequency of hospital visits.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t![\"Physical](\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/edic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/10\/EG3301R-IntelliBeats.png\" "\\"EG3301R-IntelliBeats\\"")
