Consequences of not lying flat during lumbar puncture

Consequences of not lying flat after lumbar puncture, the consequences of not lying flat after lumbar puncture will lead to low intracranial pressure headache, which is mainly manifested as headache after getting up, sitting up or moving after lumbar puncture, some accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and If the patient has mental symptoms or epileptic seizures, the symptoms of headache can be relieved after the patient lies down and rests or drinks a lot of water.

The low intracranial pressure headache caused by lumbar puncture is firstly because the patient's time in bed after lumbar puncture is too short, because cerebrospinal fluid leakage is easy to cause after lumbar puncture, and early getting out of bed at this time will reduce intracranial pressure. , It is manifested as headache when getting up and moving, and some severe patients will also have cerebral hemorrhage.

Therefore, patients must stay in bed for 6-8 hours after lumbar puncture, and drink plenty of water at the same time to prevent hypotension headache.
