ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of patient's position on pain and anxiety during lumbar puncture (LP). MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
A randomized controlled trial included children between 2 and 18 years old receiving at least 2 therapeutic LPs. They were randomly assigned to undergo lateral decubitus position or sitting position LP. Primary outcome was the maximum LP-induced pain, secondary endpoint the maximum LP-induced anxiety score.RESULTS:
Twenty-eight patients were randomized. For patients under 6 years old, mean of Face, Leg, Activity, Cry, and Consolability were 2.8/10±3.0 (median=1) at first time and 1.5±1.7 (median=1) at second time. For patients 6 to 18 years old, mean of visual analog scale were 2.2±2.2 (median=1.5) at first time and 3.2±2.8 (median=3) at second time. There was no significant differences according to position on anxiety among children.CONCLUSIONS:
Results did not demonstrate whether lateral decubitus position could generate less pain and anxiety than sitting position.
