Abstract
(Acta Anaesthesiol Scand. 2022;66:563–568) Within obstetric anesthesia, accidental dural puncture is the most prevalent complication, contributing to a postdural puncture headache (PDPH) in 60% to 70% of patients. Currently, epidural blood patch (EBP) is a standard treatment for PDPH, yet questions regarding optimal blood volume, effectivity, and others remain. EBP can be done through conventional EBP (C-EBP) or through fluoroscopy-guided EBP (F-EBP) methods. The aim of this study is to determine headache intensity at hospital discharge, compare blood volumes used in C-EBPs versus F-EBPs, and analyze the outcomes of both treatment methods.
