AI Article Synopsis
- A study compared a single-needle single-site technique for bone marrow procedures with a two-needle technique in 30 patients.
- The researchers also tested two variations of the single-needle technique: one that aspirated immediately after penetrating the cortex and another that aspirated after advancing the needle further.
- Results showed that the two-needle technique produced better quality samples, while the single-needle methods often yielded specimens lacking sufficient bone marrow cells.
Article Abstract
A single-needle single-site technique for bone marrow aspiration and core biopsy has been compared with a two-needle technique, using 30 randomly selected patients who required these two investigations. In addition, two single-needle techniques were compared, aspirating immediately after penetrating the cortex or, alternatively, aspirating after the needle (without the stilette) had been advanced 20-25 mm. The two-needle technique was found to be superior to either of the single-needle techniques, which often resulted in a biopsy specimen that was denuded of bone marrow cells.
