Will a lumbar puncture be painful? Can the baby take it?

This is what worries parents the most. To be honest, a lumbar puncture will indeed cause some pain, but it is not unbearable. This kind of pain is not much stronger than the needle tingling for blood drawing and infusion. Some parents have some understanding of lumbar puncture, know that infants and young children do not do local anesthesia for lumbar puncture, and they do not understand this. In fact, local anesthesia also requires acupuncture, and a skin mound is punched under the skin, and then anesthesia is injected layer by layer. This process is also painful, and it is equivalent to causing a small trauma before the lumbar puncture. Therefore, in order to relieve the pain of the baby, oral sedatives (usually chloral hydrate) should be given before the lumbar puncture, and then the baby will be quiet or sleep well before doing it.
