Francesco Cardona Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 After reading this: https://rdcu.be/cqY8Y .. we decided to try for ourselves. It does work! Who uses ultrasound to guide lumbar puncture as well? Do you prefer to access out-of-plane or in-plane? Did you run into any unexpected difficulties? Have you identified any helpful landmarks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Johansson Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Looks like a great tool! I voted "Not yet, but interested" above I remember a special case some time ago where we really wanted to get CSF for herpes-PCR, and the LP failed x several. We asked our radiologist for support and ultrasound showed a hematoma after the first puncture attempts, completely compressing the the dural sack. So, getting CSF seemed just impossible. But... a new ultrasound (day after as I remember it), showed that hematoma was smaller and with guidance, we performed a succesful tap. Shared the poll also on Tw 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
