CAICEDO-SALAZAR, Juliana e RIOS-MEDINA, Ángela María. New approaches and therapeutic options for post-dural puncture headache treatment. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2021, vol.49, n.3, e300. Epub 09-Jun-2021. ISSN 0120-3347. https://doi.org/10.5554/22562087.e951.
Post-dural puncture headache is a frequent complication in neuraxial approaches. It may result in disability, healthcare dissatisfaction and potentially serious complications. The traditional initial management includes general and analgesia measures with poor evidence. The treatment approach best supported by the literature is the epidural blood patch for which rates of up 70% improvement have been reported. Regional techniques have been recently described that may be helpful because they are less invasive than the epidural blood patch, under certain clinical circumstances. This article suggests an algorithm that uses such techniques for the management of this complication.
