Do you really need the stylet and spinal needle to perform an LP. Why can't you just use the sterile syringe in the kit and the needle and then just aspirate. I feel like I've almost missed some LP's because I thought I wasn't in the correct space but actually the fluid is just coming out extremely slow. It seems like performing gentle continuous aspiration(Like with a central line) would let you know immediately when you're in the space as well as get the fluid faster. I haven't tried it yet. Any thoughts? Also if this is not recommended do you guys have any hidden tricks to make this a 100% successful procedure?
