The patient is prepared as described above for the placement of a passive drain.

Usually a Seldinger technique is used to place a closed suction drain percutaneously. An 18G catheter is tunneled under the skin into the abdominal cavity. A wire is then advanced in the catheter into the abdominal cavity. The 18G catheter is then removed and the closed suction drain is advanced over the wire into the abdominal cavity.

The drain is secured to the skin with a Chinese finger trap with 2‐0 Nylon. The drain is then connected to a suction device and a reservoir. The device generates a negative pressure close to 10 mmHg. Usually the reservoir can be 100–400 ml depending on the size of the animal and the amount of effusion that is expected to be produced.
