About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

Paracentesis at 48 hours, as recommended in international guidelines, could delay the time to effective antibiotic therapy in cases of SBP with germs resistant to empirical antibiotic therapy. Earlier paracentesis at 24 hours could save time in initiating the right antibiotic therapy and improve prognosis.
