Abstract
PDPH occurred in 19 patients (31.7%) in GI, 7 patients (11.7%) in GII and 0 patients in GIII. However, the time taken to get CSF from onset of needle insertion was significantly different between the three groups; {13.6(5.2), 28.7(11.1) and 113.5(27.4)Â sec. mean(SD) in GI, GII and GIII} respectively. The duration of local anaesthetic injection through the spinal needles was significantly different between the three groups; {9.3(0.6), 15.3(1.2) and 37.4(1.7)Â sec. mean(SD); GI, GII and GIII} respectively. Also time to reach T4 block was significantly longer in GIII when compared with other groups; {5.7(0.8), 5.7(1.1) and 8.0(0.7)Â min. mean(SD); GI, GII and GIII} respectively. PÂ <Â 0.05. Conclusion: Spinal anaesthesia with a 29G needle reduced the incidence of PDPH in elective CS to 0%. However, it is significantly more time consuming to give spinal anaesthesia with 29G needle than with the other needles.
