Accidental dural puncture: Combination of prophylactic methods to avoid post-dural puncture headache
2014, Annales Francaises d'Anesthesie et de ReanimationCitation Excerpt :On the contrary, Kaul et al. [11] found that a prophylactic BP causes a significant reduction of the incidence of PDPH as compared to the absence of treatment or insertion of an intrathecal catheter in parturient. In their uncontrolled study, Trivedi et al. [12] found that BP was the best prophylactic option, and that the epidural saline group developed fewer headaches than the conservative treatment group. Use of epidural morphine showed promising results to prevent PDPH in a single randomized control trial: only 12% of women experienced PDPH, and no one needed a therapeutic BP [13].

2010, British Journal of AnaesthesiaCitation Excerpt :As in the epidural blood patch studies, the results are highly heterogeneous (P<0.001, Fig. 1a). The RR from three studies investigating the use of epidural saline as a preventative measure against PDPH failed to reach statistical significance, with a value of 0.65 (0.40–1.05).18 24 25 The one study exploring the intrathecal injection of 10 ml saline for the prevention of PDPH similarly failed to reach statistical significance (RR=0.51, 0.26–1.03).26
