Abstract

Background:Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is a relatively uncommon but important anesthesia-related complication due to leakage of cerebrospinal fluid after spinal anesthesia. The overall reported incidence of PDPH varies from 0.1 to 36%. Although it usually resolves spontaneously after bed resting, PDPH might result in prolonged hospital stay secondary to intractable headache or requires additional intervention such as autologous blood patch. Bed rest for up to 8 hours after spinal anesthesia is a common clinical practice in Taiwan to prevent the development of PDPH.
