The risk of bleeding may be increased if: * prothrombin time > 21 seconds * international normalized ratio > 1.6 * platelet count < 50,000 per cubic millimeter. Absolute contraindication is the acute abdomen that requires surgery. Relative contraindications are: * Pregnancy * Distended urinary bladder * Abdominal wall cellulitis * Distended bowel * Intra-abdominal adhesions.
