dc.description.abstract | Is the needle tip configuration important when
performing a lumbar puncture for any indication? A
systematic review published in the Lancet in December 2017 suggests that it is. The review found that
using atraumatic (pencil-point) lumbar puncture
needles instead of conventional lumbar puncture
needles reduced the risk of post-dural-puncture
headache and of return to hospital for additional
pain control.1
This guideline recommendation aims
to promptly and transparently translate this evidence
to a clinical recommendation, following standards
for GRADE methodology and trustworthy guidelines.2
The BMJ Rapid Recommendations panel makes a
strong recommendation for the use of atraumatic
needles for lumbar puncture in all patients regardless
of age (adults and children) or indication instead of
conventional needles.3 4 Box 1 shows the article and
evidence linked to this Rapid Recommendation. The
main infographic provides an overview of the absolute benefits and harms (although none were present
here) of atraumatic needles. Table 1 below shows any
evidence that has emerged since the publication of
this guideline. | en_US |
