Prevention of headache consequent upon dural puncture in obstetric patient
Abstract:
Three consecutive groups of 50 obstetric patients received spinal anaesthesia. The control group received no prophylactic treatment for spinal headache, the second group were treated by the epidural injection of 20-25 ml of normal saline and the third group were treated by abdominal binder. There was no statistically significant difference between the two forms of treatment but the results show that the incidence of post spinal puncture headache can be significantly reduced by applying either of them.
