vertical postural examination (n = 24) or a horizontal postural examination (n = 15) to examine a varying degree of spine flexion.ResultsThe vertical examination showed that ICP decreased by 15.2 mmHg when straightening the neck in a sitting lumbar puncture position (n = 24, IQR 20.1 to 9.7...
During the procedure, you will be injected with anesthesia to numb the puncture site at your lower back. A thin, hollow needle is inserted between the two lower vertebrae (lumbar region), through the spinal membrane (dura) and into the spinal canal. You may feel pressure in your back durin...
Lumbar puncture, also known asspinal tap, is an invasive procedure where a hollow needle is inserted into the space surrounding the subarachnoid space in the lower back to obtain samples ofcerebrospinal fluid(CSF) for qualitative analysis. Most of the disorders of the centralnervous systemare diagn...
Lumbar puncture is a procedure that is often performed in the emergency department to obtain information about the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Although usually used for diagnostic purposes to rule out potential life-threatening conditions (eg, bacterial m
Lumbar puncture (LP) represents a basic diagnostic procedure for neurological diseases [53]. It consists of the insertion of a spinal needle between L3-L4 or L4-L5 spaces; the needle should reach the CSF, passing through various anatomical layers (skin, subcutaneous tissue, sopraspinous, spinou...

Lumbar puncture performed in the extended, rather than the flexed lateral recumbent position results in a statistically significant decrease in cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure, although the magnitude of the difference is small and of doubtful clinical significance. 展开 关键词: lumbar puncture ...
the aspects of the puncture—the position (curled over the side of the bed), the needles (18g, very large), the type (cutting needles), and that it wasn’t done under guidance—allcontributed to my leak being complexbut to the fact that I obtained a spinal leak from the procedure. ...
The procedure is done in the lower back, and the fluid is sent for laboratory analysis. A lumbar puncture may also be done to inject a medication into the subarachnoid space. The CSF is a clear, watery fluid that is present around the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system or...
The development of computed tomography has changed the position that lumbar puncture has held in the diagnostic sequence of a number of clinical entities. The procedure is contraindicated if there is soft-tissue infection adjacent to the puncture site and if there are findings of increased ...
