Incidence of post dural puncture headache following Caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi

Abstract

The incidence of post dural puncture headache can be significantly reduced in the obstetric population at the Aga Khan University Hospital if the pencil point spinal needle was to be routinely used. We recommend that the Quincke needles should not be used in the obstetric population at the Aga Khan University Hospital.
