Study Summary
This trial will test a new pressure transducer, the Compass Lumbar Puncture Enhanced, to see if it increases the success of lumbar punctures in the pediatric emergency department.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 0-18 who need a spinal tap and are at Seattle Children's Hospital. They must have a guardian who can read English or Spanish, and the procedure must be done by a provider trained to use the Compass device. It excludes foster children without guardians, those with lower spine deformities like spina bifida, or pregnant children.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if using the Compass Lumbar Puncture Enhanced—a new pressure transducer—improves success rates of lumbar punctures in kids by providing immediate feedback on cerebrospinal fluid pressure. Success includes obtaining fluid on first attempt, getting enough for standard tests, reducing blood contamination, and increasing provider satisfaction.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
There may not be direct side effects from using the Compass device itself; however, general risks associated with lumbar punctures include headache, back pain, bleeding around the spine or infection where the needle was inserted.
