Conditions
Spinal Puncture Complications
Interventions
Procedure: postoperative management
Registration Number
NCT02454894
Lead Sponsor
Beijing Children's Hospital
Brief Summary

The study is carried out in a prospective randomized controlled way. In the context of informed understanding from parents, compared with traditional process(no anesthesia; lying without the pillow and fasting water and food for four hours after lumbar puncture), randomly select lidocaine surface anesthesia and postoperative management (lying without the pillow for half an hour after lumbar puncture) . All children will be evaluated by the FLACC(The face,legs,activity,cry,consolability behavioral tool) scale to assess the degree of pain during and after lumbar puncture. Lumber puncture time, success rate and any postoperative condition will be recorded and analyzed.A questionaire about the operation for all parents and children will be investigated in order to establish an optimized lumbar puncture management process.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to establish an optimized lumbar puncture management process on the basis of fully understanding of parents and children. An improved process consisting of painless lumbar puncture (LP),less postoperative complications and comfortable LP will be anticipated.
