What are the effects of lumbar puncture on children?

Mar 04, 2022

Many parents regard lumbar puncture as pumping bone marrow fluid, fearing that it will hurt the child's vitality and the child will become stupid. Such concerns are unnecessary. The full name of lumbar puncture is called lumbar puncture, and the needle is inserted into the spinal canal, not the bone marrow cavity. The human spine is made up of slightly rounded vertebrae, and there is a gap between the two vertebrae, through which the needle is inserted. Inside the long spine is a tube called the spinal canal or spinal cavity, in which fluid flows continuously. This pipe leads to the brain, so the fluid is named cerebrospinal fluid. The amount of cerebrospinal fluid is about 140-180 ml for adults and less for infants and young children. Cerebrospinal fluid comes from body fluids and communicates with blood, but unlike blood, cells in blood cannot enter cerebrospinal fluid, so under normal circumstances, cerebrospinal fluid is colorless and transparent in appearance. When there is bleeding and inflammation in the brain, blood cells can be seen in the cerebrospinal fluid, and the protein is also increased.
