Is it harmful to do one-time lumbar puncture for the body?
Nov 14, 2022
A lumbar puncture, or lumbar puncture, is an essential diagnostic tool when doctors suspect a newborn has meningitis. However, many parents are scared and refuse to wear waist clothes. Worried that kids who smoked bone water would be stupid. In fact, the lumbar puncture is just a needle between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae to extract a little cerebrospinal fluid to test, and this test is the only way to confirm the diagnosis. Under careful aseptic operation, lumbar puncture has no damage to the child, on the contrary, the release of some cerebrospinal fluid can also play a role in reducing headaches, convulsions and other symptoms of increased intracranial pressure. If children with meningitis grow up with mental disabilities, it is not because of the puncture, but because of the meningitis itself. Therefore, when the doctor proposes to wear the waist for the child, parents should actively cooperate, seize the opportunity to make a clear diagnosis quickly and avoid delaying the disease.
