Lumbar puncture is a common clinical invasive operation for cerebrospinal fluid sampling, spinal anesthesia and intracranial pressure detection. Bloody cerebrospinal fluid is one of the most frequent intraoperative complications, which is mainly caused by the accidental injury of the spinal canal venous plexus by Disposable Sterile Medical Spinal Needle during puncture. This complication affects the accuracy of cerebrospinal fluid detection results and may cause transient adverse symptoms in patients, so it is a key research and prevention focus in the spinal needle clinical application industry.

The core causes of bloody cerebrospinal fluid complications are divided into operational factors and product matching factors. In terms of operation, insufficient clinical experience of medical staff, inaccurate puncture positioning, excessive needle insertion depth and improper needle body angle adjustment are the main inducing factors. When the needle tip deviates from the safe puncture channel, it is easy to pierce the dense venous plexus distributed in the spinal canal, resulting in bleeding and mixing of blood in the cerebrospinal fluid. In terms of product matching, unreasonable selection of spinal needle specification and needle tip type will also increase the bleeding risk. For example, the sharp cutting edge of Quincke Point needle may accidentally injure blood vessels when the operation angle is deviated; the use of oversized needle in patients with fragile spinal tissue will increase tissue damage and bleeding probability.

Clinically, iatrogenic bloody cerebrospinal fluid caused by puncture injury has obvious distinguishing characteristics from pathological bloody cerebrospinal fluid. Puncture-induced bleeding is mostly transient venous bleeding, which can stop spontaneously within a short time after adjusting the needle position or withdrawing the needle slightly. The collected cerebrospinal fluid will gradually become clear with the extension of sampling time, and there is no continuous bleeding phenomenon. Pathological bleeding is caused by intracranial hemorrhage, tumor and other diseases, with continuous blood exudation, and the cerebrospinal fluid is persistently turbid and bloody, which is difficult to self-recover. Accurate identification of the two is the key to avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

For mild bloody cerebrospinal fluid complications with small bleeding volume, patients generally do not need special treatment. After the operation, they are instructed to lie flat without pillow for 4-6 hours, combined with routine symptomatic nursing, and the blood irritation symptoms such as transient low back pain will disappear spontaneously. For individual patients with large bleeding volume and obvious local tissue stimulation, local compression hemostasis and anti-inflammatory and analgesic symptomatic treatment can be given to avoid postoperative adverse reactions.

In the industry, standardized operation specifications and optimized product design are the core means to prevent bloody cerebrospinal fluid complications. Medical institutions need to strengthen the operational training of medical staff, standardize puncture positioning, needle insertion speed and angle adjustment; manufacturers continuously optimize the needle tip polishing process and needle body flexibility, improve the minimally invasive performance of spinal needles, and reduce the probability of venous plexus injury. The joint improvement of product performance and clinical operation standardization effectively reduces the incidence of puncture complications and improves the safety of spinal puncture operations.
