Scientific titleCorrelation of cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure and the incidence of post-dural puncture headache after spinal saddle-block
Study objectivesThe incidence of post-dural puncture headache seems to be associated with cerebrospinal fluid pressure.
Ethics approval(s)Local medical ethics committee (med. Ethikkommission II; Medizinische Fakultät Mannheim der Ruprechts-Karls-Universität Heidelberg) approved on the 15th December 2008
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPost-dural puncture headache
InterventionUsing a 27 gauche Quincke needle for spinal anaesthesia in saddle block technique, measuring the cerebrospinal fluid pressure by using a spinal fluid manometer.

All patients were treated according a clincal standard: after dural puncture the dural opening pressure was measured and 1.0 ml cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) preserved. Ambulatory patients receive 1.0 ml scandicaine 4% hyperbaric; in house patients receive 1.0 ml bucaine 0.5% hyperbaric; all patients received a telephone-call 1 week after surgical intervention to obtain information about complications concerning the spinal anaesthesia.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measurePost-dural puncture headache and other complications within 7 days.
Secondary outcome measuresNo secondary outcome measures
