POST DURAL PUNCTURE HEADACHE
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 36
Abstract
Headache is a frequent complication of dural puncture, particularly with a large-bore needle. Clinical and laboratory research over the last 30 years has shown that use of small-gauge needles, particularly of the pencil-point design, is associated with a lower risk of PDPH Epidural blood patching is a well-accepted therapeutic modality for dural puncture headache; it seemed reasonable that the sooner done, the shooter would be the duration of the headache. We had noticed an unusually high failure rate of epidural blood patching done shortly after dural puncture
