The doctor is performing a lumbar puncture on the baby, what should I do?

When a doctor performs a lumbar puncture on a child, he asks the child to take a side lying flexion position. Then use a special puncture needle to insert the needle from the child's 3rd to 4th or 4th to 5th lumbar intervertebral space, and after reaching an appropriate depth, the cerebrospinal fluid can be discharged. Generally, about 3 ml is collected for inspection. After the needle is pulled out, the puncture site is disinfected with iodine and alcohol, and then a dressing can be attached. After the operation, the child should be allowed to lie down on the pillow for 4 to 6 hours. To prevent hypotension caused by secondary cerebrospinal fluid leakage. No other special measures are required after 4 to 6 hours. The gauze can be removed after 24 hours. A small number of children will feel more pain in the lower back after the puncture, and they are even reluctant to walk. Parents do not need to worry too much about this, most of these conditions will gradually disappear after two or three days.
