Subject: Medical and Surgical Nursing I (Theory)
A lumbar puncture involves inserting a sterile needle between the third and fourth vertebrae in the spinal column to access the subarachnoid area, where cerebrospinal fluid is located. Sterile procedures and precise patient placement are needed for this examination. A needle is inserted into the subarachnoid space in the lumber region to perform a lumber puncture. The third and fourth lumbar intervertebral foramen is punctured with a needle to access the subarachnoid area. The procedure is done to collect cerebrospinal fluid samples for laboratory analysis and check for signs of blood in the fluid, which would suggest a brain bleed.
The procedure known as a "lumber puncture" is performed to access the cerebral spinal fluid by inserting a sterile needle between the third and fourth vertebrae of the spinal column. In order to perform this test, the subject must be positioned precisely and sterile conditions must be maintained. For therapeutic purposes, such as reducing intracranial pressure and delivering medication or anesthesia, this procedure is routinely carried out.
When performing a lumbar puncture, a needle is inserted into the spinal column at the level of the lumbar subarachnoid space. In this procedure, the needle is placed into the subarachnoid space between the third and fourth lumbar interspace.

What is lumber puncture ?
To access the cerebral spinal fluid, a sterile needle is inserted via the spinal canal's subarachnoid area, often between the third and fourth vertebra. Sterile procedures and careful patient posture are required for this examination. In order to relieve intracranial pressure and administer medication or anesthesia, it is done therapeutically.
A needle is inserted into the lumber subarachnoid space to perform a lumber puncture. The third and fourth lumber intespaces are where the needle is inserted into the subarachnoid space.
