Lumbar puncture was performed in 195 children and the depth of needle was recorded. Our results show that the depth of lumbar puncture necessary to obtain uncontaminated cerebrospinal fluid correlates best with the child's weight. The simple formula: mean depth of insertion (cm) = 1.3 + 0.07 x body weight (kg), can be used to estimate the depth of lumbar puncture of children older than 3 months. The depths of lumbar puncture of children younger than 3 months are mostly 1.0-1.5 cm.
对195名儿童进行了腰椎穿刺，并记录了进针深度。我们的结果表明，获取无污染脑脊液所需的腰椎穿刺深度与儿童体重的相关性最佳。简单公式：平均进针深度（厘米）=1.3 + 0.07×体重（千克），可用于估算3个月以上儿童的腰椎穿刺深度。3个月以下儿童的腰椎穿刺深度大多为1.0 - 1.5厘米。
