L5
where is lumbar puncture performed, what does it sample
samples CSF between L3 and L4 or L4 and L5
performed here because spinal cord ends around L2 so done just below where it ends
which interspinous distance is greatest
lumbar
why is patient asked to flex spine when lumbar puncture being done
increase space between spinous processes
does spinal cord extend further in child or adult
