Description
Wendy Chang takes us through the use of ultrasound for lumbar puncture and how this should be used consistently, not just for difficult cases and field cases. Recent reviews have shown that using ultrasound for lumbar puncture has the potential to improve our success rate, decrease the rate of traumatic taps, decrease time to success, decrease needle passes and ultimately decrease the patients pain scores.
