Can disposable medical lumbar puncture needles leave people with sequelae?
Dec 09, 2022
The so-called sequelae that people used to talk about are actually blood disorders found after the bone marrow examination by puncture. When it comes to conditioning, I'm not so sure. I think this puncture is a very small intervention.
It is safe to say that as a diagnostic lumbar puncture for cerebrospinal fluid examination, there will be no sequelae in accordance with medical practice. The main postoperative complication of lumbar puncture is low cranial pressure headache, which is manifested as a significant headache after sitting up, while the headache decreases or disappears after lying down. This is mainly due to the fact that in some patients, some cerebrospinal fluid still leaks out of the puncture needle opening after the operation, causing a decrease in intracranial pressure and pulling on the nerves, resulting in headache, so after lumbar puncture, patients are usually instructed to stay in bed for 4 to 6 hours and encouraged to drink more water to prevent In addition, even if a low cranial pressure headache occurs, it can often heal on its own after 4 to 6 days.
