Neonatal & Infant Lumbar Puncture
Ultrasound-Guided Procedure Training
Neonatal & Infant Lumbar Puncture
Gain an in-depth understanding of the basic principles of performing ultrasound-guided neonatal and infant lumbar punctures. Review relevant anatomic landmarks that are instrumental to performing ultrasound-guided lumbar punctures. Develop cognitive task awareness and visuospatial skills required to perform the procedure to evaluate for sepsis or central nervous system infections. Review the anatomy of the neonatal and infant spine, and commonly agreed-upon clinical indications for performing ultrasound-guided lumbar punctures. Learn optimal transducer selection, patient positioning, imaging approaches, and sonographic techniques for procedure execution. Imaging tips and pitfalls, and potential procedure complications are discussed.
