Apr 15, 2022

The most common sequelae of lumbar puncture is pain, because the puncture enters the subarachnoid space and extracts cerebrospinal fluid, which may affect the patient's cerebrospinal fluid circulation. After the puncture, the patient should be instructed to lie on the supine position for 6 hours with the pillow removed, increase dietary nutrition, supplement fluid appropriately, and keep blood pressure stable.

In addition, local hematoma formation is easy to occur after puncture. In severe cases, patients may also experience lower extremity pain, numbness, and even limited mobility. The most serious complication is paraplegia.

If the operation is not performed properly, local infection will occur, so evaluation should be made before puncture. Patients with coagulation disorder or local skin and soft tissue infection are contraindicated for puncture, and blood samples should be sent for inspection in time. or bacteriological examination.
