Tóm tắt

SummaryThe incidence of postdural puncture headache after spinal anaesthesia with two types of 26‐ and 29‐gauge needles was investigated in 149 patients less than 30 years old. Ten patients, (6.7%), six men and four women, developed typical symptoms of postdural puncture headache, while six (4.0%) developed headache of other origin. There were no headaches in the 29‐gauge group. Spinal anaesthesia in four patients (8%) was impossible to perform with the 29‐gauge needle. By using the latter, spinal anaesthesia can be given to young adults with little risk of postdural puncture headache.
