Benchmarking Lumbar Puncture Fluoroscopy Time during Fellowship Training

Proper training and use of ultrasonography facilitates lumbar puncture

With great interest, we read the study of Line Dussourd et al. concluding that ultrasonography allows better identification of anatomical structures before performing a lumbar puncture. We cannot concur with the conclusions of the study because the authors did not visualize the conus medullaris directly, nor did they assess the individual intervertebral levels. In our commentary, we make some s...

Remote Haptic Collaboration for Virtual Training of Lumbar Puncture

A remote haptic collaboration system for lumbar puncture learning and training has been proposed. The study built a physical model for the simulation of interaction force between the needle and different tissues and developed a new protocol for real-time force feedback data transmission. Based on the processing delay and preprocessing interpolation, the negative effects on remote haptic percept...

Lumbar Puncture in Neonates with Sepsis

Introduction: Infections are one of the main causes of death during childhood. Epidemiologic studies in Iran showed that the incidence of neonatal sepsis was 1.8% in 1995. Moreover, the incidence of neonatal meningitis is 0.2 to 0.4 in per 1,000 live births. The aim of this study was to determine the necessity of lumbar puncture (LP) in early neonatal sepsis. Methods: In a retrospective study, ...
