During lumbar puncture, the patient should lie on the side on a hard bed with a vertical wound on the back, so that the body is in a state of anterior chest flexion and arms hugging knees, and then the puncture location is determined. The puncture point is generally at the intersection of the highest line of the bilateral iliac crest and the posterior median line, and the puncture point is taken as the center for external disinfection, and the skin of the patient at the puncture site is fixed. The puncture needle is used to slowly enter the puncture point until there is a sense of frustration, the needle core is slowly extracted, and then the pressure tube is connected to make the patient relax, remove the pressure tube, and collect cerebrospinal fluid. In the process of lumbar puncture, the vital signs of the patient should be paid close attention to. Once abnormal breathing and pulse occur, the operation should be stopped. To prevent postoperative low cranial pressure headache.
Patients do not have tension and anxiety, according to the doctor's advice for active treatment.
