Are there any side effects of bone marrow puncture?

Dec 02, 2021

Bone marrow aspiration has no side effects. The bone penetration site is generally selected in the iliac bone and sternum. There are no organs, blood vessels and nerves here, and it is a safe place. Most of the bones of the human body are "hollow" and filled with bone marrow. Even the "solid" bones on the surface such as the skull and ribs are loose in the middle. Bone marrow is present. "Bone puncture" is to use a puncture needle to penetrate the bone marrow cavity to extract a small amount of bone marrow for laboratory testing. Some patients mistakenly believe that the extraction of bone marrow fluid for bone marrow puncture will damage the body's essence, damage and vitality, and they are unwilling to perform the examination. In fact, the bone marrow fluid required for bone marrow examination is very small, usually about 0.1ml, while the normal bone marrow of the human body The total amount of fluid is about 260ml. It can be seen that the bone marrow fluid drawn during the bone marrow puncture examination is insignificant compared to the total amount of the human body, not to mention the continuous regeneration of a large number of cells in the body every day. In addition, patients often think that bone marrow aspiration is painful and fearful, but this is actually unnecessary. The most commonly selected part of "Bone Piercing" is the iliac bone, which is located on the lower and outer side of the abdomen, that is, the part that protrudes sideways and frontally on both sides of the lower abdomen. This operation generally needs to be performed under local anesthesia, and will not damage large nerves and blood vessels, so it will not cause hemorrhage or neuromuscular paralysis.
