Can medical lumbar puncture needle do 70 years old

Lumbar puncture is of decisive significance in the diagnosis of intracranial diseases such as meningitis and encephalitis. Children with leukemia also need regular lumbar puncture and injection of specific drugs in order to prevent and treat meningeal leukemia. Lumbar puncture is performed under combined lumbar epidural anesthesia, and the puncture needle is generally passed through the lumbar 3-4 disc approach. People over the age of 70 can in principle, but those who have a taboo cannot.
