Over the last 50years, there has been a decrease in the number of direct maternal deaths associated with anaesthesia in the UK, mainly because of the increased use of neuraxial anaesthesia in the obstetric population.1 With regards to neuraxial analgesia, the epidural rate has remained relatively static over the last 10years at 25%.2,3 Medical interventions are associated with potential complications: one of the most significant associated with neuraxial anaesthesia and analgesia is postdural puncture headache (PDPH), which is particularly debilitating in the obstetric population because of its postural characteristic.
