Aug 29, 2022

Lumbar punctures can sound scary and often conjure up images of "pain" and "aftereffects" for parents. Once the doctor says the baby needs a lumbar puncture to test cerebrospinal fluid, many parents get very nervous and feel like the sky is falling. Lumbar puncture is when a needle is inserted into the subarachnoid space through the lumbar space in order to draw cerebrospinal fluid for testing. Some diseases also require drug injection through lumbar puncture. When the baby has a fever, showing extreme irritability, head (the baby will not use language expression, head is often caused by headache) or mental state is very poor, even lethargy, coma, accompanied by ejectional vomiting, recurrent convulsions, or convulsions after consciousness is still not clear, are signs of central nervous system infection. The doctor should carry out the relevant physical examination, when the baby's neck is found to be stiff, pathological reflex is positive or suspicious, will recommend a lumbar puncture to test the cerebrospinal fluid. One is to determine whether there is central nervous system infection in the baby, the second is to further identify bacterial infection or viral infection. If the baby has intracranial hemorrhage or intracranial tumor, although there will be similar symptoms of central nervous system infection, but there is no need to do lumbar puncture, and intracranial hemorrhage or do lumbar puncture contraindications, identification is actually very simple, do a head CT can see very clearly. Therefore, before doing lumbar puncture, head CT should be done first to exclude the above two diseases.
