Clinical Trial Summary
Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is one of the most important complications of neuraxial
blocks and lumbar interventions for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination. It occurs due to
tear in the dura mater and loss of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) after intrathecal or epidural
interventions.The incidence of PDPH depends on the thickness of the needle used and the type
of tip. Headaches are more common with thick needles than with thin needles.In our study,
postdural puncture headache in patients whose surgery was planned and spinal anesthesia was
applied at Süleyman Demirel University faculty of medicine;frequency, predisposing factors,
treatment intended to examine.
Description:
Different anesthesia techniques are applied to patients undergoing surgery. These are general
anesthesia and regional (Spinal, Epidural, peripheral nerve blocks, etc.) anesthesia
applications. Today, regional anesthesia is the most frequently preferred anesthesia method
by anesthesiologists due to its low side effects. Spinal anesthesia is the temporary stopping
of nerve conduction with a local anesthetic solution injected into the cerebrospinal fluid.
It is one of the most commonly used regional anesthesia techniques today.Important advantages
of regional anesthesia include the patient's continued spontaneous breathing, preservation of
oropharyngeal reflexes, continuation of analgesia in the postoperative period, early
mobilization, and short hospital stay.Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is one of the most
important complications of neuraxial blocks and lumbar interventions for cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF) examination. The incidence of PDPH is significantly higher in young people than in the
elderly, in women compared to men, and in pregnant women compared to the normal population.In
our study, spinal anesthesia cases will be examined. Patients with headache will be
identified. Patients' demographic data (age, height, body weight, gender, comorbidities), ASA
(American Society of Anesthesiologists) score, operation type, presence of headache etiology,
needle type and diameter used, number of interventions and procedures. level, amount of local
anesthetic given, adjuvant drugs added, experience of the practitioner, amount of fluid
given, date and time of headache onset, treatment and procedure complications will be
monitored and recorded in the form.
