Blood patch et traitement des céphalées

Blood patch has been used for years to treat post-dural puncture headaches. Obstetrical patients are more frequently concerned as well as those who suffer from post-lumbar puncture headache. Some patients suffering from chronic headaches related to dural leak may also benefit from blood patch. Ultrasound guidance facilitates epidural space location especially when dural puncture results from difficulties in performing epidural anaesthesia.
