Clinical trials: Puncture
Lumbar Puncture
Ultrasound Assisted Lumbar Puncture in the Neonate
Clinicians are often unable to successfully do a spinal tap. Ultrasound has been proposed as a method to improve success but it is not known if it helps. This study is designed to see if ultrasound improves the success rate.
