The Relationship Between Body Mass Index and Post-dural Puncture Headache in Pregnant Women
Description:
The study included 420 women with American Society of Anesthesiology physical status I-II who
underwent elective caesarean section under spinal anesthesia. The patients with a BMI less
than 30 were accepted as normal weight (Group I) and those with a BMI above 30 were accepted
as obese (Group II). Dural puncture performed with a 27G Quincke spinal needle at the L3-4 or
L4-5 intervertebral space and given 12.5 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine intrathecally. The
patients were questioned regarding headache and low back pain 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after
the procedure, and by phone calls on days 3 and 7.
