Subject

Newborn Lumbar Puncture

Description

For each of the hospitals in your trust that treat newborn babies, please can you provide any information you hold (such as protocol, local guidelines/advice etc), on when a newborn baby would normally receive a lumbar puncture when you are worried about an infection or sepsis. I am particularly interested if there is a local CRP (C-reactive protein) blood level at which a lumbar puncture is usually done.
