Diagnostic Lumbar Puncture

So my pain management provider performed a spinal tap. I do not have any documentation that she used any kind of guidance. We are a health clinic. Here is what her note says:

PROCEDURES:

Diagnostic Lumbar Puncture: After recieving informed consent the

patient was prepped and draped in the right lateral decubitus position,

prepped with betadine and draped with a sterile fenestrated drape; 1%

lidocaine was infiltrated over L3-L4 interspace, #22g spinal needle was

uses after 3 attempts in the lateral decubitus position ; the patient

was set up mantaining sterile technique, using a 22g spinal needle 1st

attempt in the sitting position. Clear CSF was aspirated. four vials of

CSF collected. Samples sent for cell count, protein, Cl, oligiclonal

antibodies, C&S. The procedure was without complications.


I plan on asking her if she used any kind of guidance... but any help before I am able to talk to her would be helpful. She is in only once a week.
