Do Anaesthesiologists Prefer Whitacre Needle Over Quincke for Lumbar Subarachnoid Block? An Analytical Study

Abstract

BACKGROUNDA study to analyse Anaesthesiologist's preference of Whitacre and Quincke needles for lumbar subarachnoid block. Whitacre needle is not routinely used in spite of its advantages like decreased incidence of post-dural puncture headache because of its unfamiliarity among Anaesthesiologists and its low ease of availability.
