“Poin-of-care ultrasound in neonatology. Real time ultrasound guided neonatal lumbar puncture” From Neonatal Echocardiophy

Today, I reviewed and embedded Neonatal Echocardiography‘s “Poin-of-care ultrasound in neonatology. Real time ultrasound guided neonatal lumbar puncture“.

Lumbar puncture is an established technique for cerebrospinal fluid collection. Landmark-based lumbar puncture without image guidance is the standard of care. Real-time ultrasound guidance is more safe and effective for lumbar punctures and has specific advantages in the newborn infants.
