ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Accidental dural puncture (ADP) and subsequent post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) remain common complications of epidural procedures for obstetric anesthesia and analgesia. No clear consensus exists on the best way to prevent PDPH after ADP.

CASE SUMMARY: We report our findings in twenty parturients who underwent an incorporated strategy of epidural analgesia followed by epidural hydroxyethyl starch (HES) to prevent PDPH after ADP with a 16-gauge Tuohy needle during epidural procedures. ADP with a 16-gauge Tuohy needle occurred in nine parturients undergoing a cesarean section (CS) and in eleven parturients receiving labor analgesia. An epidural catheter was re-sited at the same or adjacent intervertebral space in all patients. After CS, the epidural catheter was used for postoperative pain relief over a 48-h period. After deliver y in eleven cases, epidural infusion was maintained for 24 h. Thereafter, 15 mL of 6% HES 130/0.4 was administered via the epidural catheter immediately prior to catheter removal. None of the parturients developed PDPH or neurologic deficits over a follow-up period of at least two months to up to one year postpartum.

CONCLUSION: An incorporated strategy of epidural analgesia followed by epidural hydroxyethyl starch may have great efficacy in preventing PDPH after ADP.
