Lumbar Puncture Needle Operation What Harm And Influence
Dec 11, 2022
The chances of something going wrong are very small.
The location of the lumbar needle is in the 4th and 5th lumbar space. There is no spinal cord here, so it will never hurt it. There is only the cauda equina nerve here, and it is extremely difficult for the puncture needle to damage the nerve. A small amount of cerebrospinal fluid will be released after the puncture, which will not cause any impact. Therefore, please accept it at ease and cooperate actively.
