PROCEDURE :
Performed with the patient
in the lateral recumbent
position.
Aline connecting the
posterior superior iliac
crest will intersect the
midline at approx. the L4
spinous process.
Spinal needles entering the
subarachnoid space at this
point are well below the
termination of the spinal
cord.
LP in older children may be
performed from L2 to L3
interspace to the L5 to S1
interspace.
At birth, the cord ends at the
level of L3.
LP in infant may be performed
at the L4 to L5 or L5 to S1
interspace.
Position the patient:
Generally performed in the
lateral decubitus position.
Apillow is placed under the
head to keep it in the same
plane as the spine.
Shoulders and hips are
positioned. perpendicular with
the table.
Lower back should be arched
toward practitioner.
a. Ligament flavum is a strong,
elastic, yellow membrane
covering the interlaminar space
between the vertebrae.
b. Interspinal ligaments join the
inferior and superior borders
of adjacent spinous processes.
c. Supraspinal ligament connects
the spinous processes
Atopical anesthetic (e.g. EMLAcream) can be applied 30 to 60
minutes before performing the puncture to minimize pain on
penetration.
Either a sitting or lateral decubitus position can be used .
Monitor the patient visually and with pulse oximetry for any signs
of respiratory difficulty as a result of assumedposition.
The subarachnoid space must be entered below the level of spinal
cord termination.
The spine should be flexed maximally to increase spacing between
spinous processes.
Extensive neck flexion, however, should be avoided to minimize a
chance of respiratory compromise.
Make sure the hips and shoulders are aligned &are perpendicular
to the bed surface.
The patient’s back should be carefully prepared and draped
using provided disinfecting solution and drapes.
Orient yourself anatomically and find the L4 spinous process
at the level of iliac crests
Palpate a suitable interspace distal to this level.
Infiltrate 2% Lidocaine subcutaneously (without epinephrine
to prevent cord infarction should it be introduced into the
cord by accident) with a fine needle.
Afield block can be applied injecting into and on either side
of the interspinous ligaments.
Identify the two spinal processes in between which the
needle will be introduced, penetrate the skin and slowly
advance the tip of the needle at about 10 degrees cephalad
(i.e. toward the patient’s umbilicus).
Remove the stylet and check for clear fluid will flow from
the needle when the subarachnoid space has been penetrated.
The ligaments offer resistance to the needle, and a “pop” is
often felt as they arepenetrated.
Withdraw the needle leaving the tip in, recheck the
landmarks and slowly progress the needle again.
Measure the opening pressure using the manometer by
attaching it via a stopcock to the spinal needle.
Normal opening pressure ranges from 10 to 100 mm H2O in
young children and 60 to 200 mm H2O after eight years of
age
CSF volume of 1cc obtained in 3 tubes.
In the neonate, 2ml in total can be safely removed.
In an older child 3 to 6 ml can be sampled depending
on the child’s size.
Tube 1 is used for determining protein and glucose
Tube 2 is used for microbiologic and cytologic studies
Tube 3 is for cell counts and serologic tests for syphilis
