Effect of Position During Spinal Anesthesia on Postdural Puncture Headache After Cesarean Section: A Prospective, Single-Blind Randomized Clinical Trial

Abstract: BackgroundThe most common method of anesthesia for cesarean section is spinal anesthesia, and postdural puncture headache (PDPH) remains a major complication of this procedure. Nowadays, PDPH is a major cause of morbidity in parturients after spinal anesthesia. This headache is the third most popular reason for claims against anesthesiologists in obstetrics. The position after spinal anesthesia has been evaluated as a contributory factor in the occurrence of PDPH, but the position before spinal anesthesia has … Show more

“…We have found that the incidence of PDPH was more in hip flexion than in spinal flexion but it was not statistically significant. Not much study was done on this but as per, Davoudi et al the incidence in sitting position is high than the lateral decubitus position 5 As per meta-analysis of Zorilla et al lateral decubitus position is better. 6 We have found that the PDPH was more in younger age group than older people, but not significant statistically and the same result was found by other authors Choi PT et al, and J. Singh et al 7,8 In our study we have found that lower BMI is associated with higher PDPH which is not statistically significant, study of Ali Jabbari et al 9 has the same result but Peralta et al study did not match with our study.…”

“…Spinal anesthesia is widely used for cesarean section currently for its safety, low cost, reliability, easiness to administer, immediate effect, and well-operating conditions [ [1] , [2] , [3] ]. This technique is not free from complications.…”

“…The patterns of development of PDPH depend on a procedure and non-procedure-related risk factors [ 4 , 9 ]. According to literature the incidence of PDPH after spinal anesthesia ranges from 0.3% to 40% and affected by factors like age, gender, needle size and type, multiple attempts of spinal performance, spinal anesthesia injection at sitting position, and previous PDPH [ 1 , 2 , 5 , 7 , 10 , 11 ]. On top of these factors, having high levels of estrogens which may influence the tone of the cerebral vessels, thus increasing the vascular distension response to CSF hypotension put pregnant mothers at increased risk for PDPH [ 5 , 12 ].…”

“…Spinal anesthesia is mostly used during C- section [ 1 ]. Because this anesthesia is easier to perform and local anesthetics are less dangerous than epidural anesthesia in terms of risk of preeclampsia and is effective in controlling pain and reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting [ 2 ]. Spinal anesthesia is one of the local anesthesia methods, which is associated with complications such as neurological complications (paraplegia, cauda equina syndrome), PDPH, and cardiovascular complications (hypotension, bradycardia, and cardiac arrest) [ 3 ].…”
