Lumbar puncture needle meaning and contraindications

Mar 21, 2022

The main clinical significance of lumbar puncture is to monitor intracranial pressure. At the same time, a small amount of cerebrospinal fluid can be collected during the process of lumbar puncture, and routine and biochemical examination of cerebrospinal fluid can be performed. At the same time, it can be checked to determine whether there is subarachnoid hemorrhage and the presence of intracranial infection at the same time. At the same time, in the process of lumbar puncture, pneumoencephalography and spinal angiography can also be performed by creating contrast agent.

The significance of treatment is mainly to treat intracranial hypertension by performing lumbar puncture to release cerebrospinal fluid. If it is a patient with low intracranial pressure, it can be treated by injecting normal saline. Hemorrhagic cerebrospinal fluid discharge can reduce the stimulation of blood cerebrospinal fluid on the brain surface, promote the circulation and absorption of cerebrospinal fluid, and prevent and treat arachnoid granule adhesion or hydrocephalus. Patients with central nervous system infections can be treated with antibiotics through lumbar puncture.

The contraindication is generally when the patient is in shock, the condition is serious, the intracranial pressure is increased, and the symptoms of brain herniation are present, and it is recommended not to do a lumbar puncture to avoid brain herniation.
