AB Lumbar  puncture  is  considered  the  gold  standard  diagnostic  procedure  to  assist  clinicians  with  the  evaluation  of  subarachnoid  hemorrhage,  meningitis,  and  other  neurologic  conditions.  Anxiolytics,  such  as  benzodiazepines,  may  be  administered  to  improve  patient  comfort,  relaxation,  and  cooperation.  Contraindications  to  lumbar  puncture  are  listed  in  Table  175–1.
