Стернальная пункция

The footage documents the medical procedure known as sternal puncture, also referred to as sternal aspiration. This invasive diagnostic technique involves the insertion of a specialized needle into the sternum (breastbone) to obtain a sample of bone marrow. The procedure is typically performed to analyze the hematopoietic (blood-forming) cells for diagnostic purposes, often when other sources of bone marrow, like the posterior iliac crest, are unsuitable or insufficient.

The video illustrates the preparation and execution of the sternal puncture technique. Proper patient positioning and site preparation are crucial steps before aspiration to minimize risk and ensure a viable sample collection. The bone marrow aspirate acquired is then sent to a laboratory for cytological and histological examination, aiding in the diagnosis and staging of various hematological conditions, including certain types of anemia or malignancies.
