Comparison of Incidence of Post-Dural Puncture Headache (PDPH) in Patients Undergoing Lower Uterine Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS) among Different Batches of Residents
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Spinal anesthesia seems to be particularly well suited for caesarean section because of simplicity of procedure and rapid onset of dense block. However, post-dural puncture headache has remained a well-recognized complication. Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) was first described by August Bier in 1898 and classically presents as a postural headache following therapeutic or diagnostic interventions of the epidural or spinal space1 . The overall incidence of post-duralpucture headache varies from 0.1%- 36%. It may be mild, moderate or severe and debilitating headache, and may be associated with neurological symptoms. 60% of PDPHs will begin within 2 days of having adural puncture, 90% within 3 days, though it may occur up to 14 days later2 .
