Analgesia, Obstetrical, Post-Dural Puncture Headache
Intrathecal Catheter Placement Versus Resiting Epidural Catheter After Dural Puncture in Obstetric Patients
Epidural anesthesia represents the most popular method for pain relief during labour. Unintentional dural puncture (UDP) occurs in 0.4-1.5% of labour epidural analgesia, representing therefore the most common complication.
