Ultrasound guidance allows for more accurate placement of the needle and reduces the risk of complications, such as bleeding or infection. Compared to a landmark-based approach, ultrasound guidance provides real-time visualization of the needle as it enters the spinal canal, ensuring that it is correctly positioned. It is a safer and more effective technique for performing lumbar punctures in neonates, and can improve outcomes and reduce the need for repeat procedures.👌 #123sonography #sonograp
