what is collected in each tube for lumbar puncture?
Tube 1- cell count and differential
Tube 2- glucose and protein
Tube 3- culture andgram stain
tube 4- cell count and differental
in tube 1 there should be a little blood from the puncture by the time you get to tube 4 there should be little blood

Traumatic Puncture
- CSF- low
- Duration of bleeding- decreases when CSF is withdrawn
- Clotting- present
- Repeat lumbar puncture- not blood
- centrifugation- clear fluid
Subarachnoid hemorrage
- CSF- high
- Duration of bleeding- no change in color when CSF is withdrawn
- Clotting- Absent
- Repeat lumbar puncture- bloody
- centrifugation- Xanthochromia
