Effect of Altitude on Postdural Puncture Headache After Caesarean Delivery
Effect of Altitude on Postdural Puncture Headache After Caesarean Delivery: a Prospective, Multicentre Cohort Study
Sponsor
B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences
Enrollment
292 participants
Start Date
Apr 18, 2023
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of altitude (high altitude versus low altitude) on incidence and severity of postural puncture headache (PDPH) following spinal anaesthesia for caesarean delivery. The investigators hypothesized that the risk of PDPH would be higher in highlander parturients than in lowlander parturients.
Eligibility
Sex: FEMALEMin Age: 18 Years
Inclusion Criteria4
- Parturient, aged more than or equal to 18 years
- American society of Anesthesiologist 2 and 3
- Scheduled for elective and non-elective (category 2 \& 3) caesarean delivery with spinal anesthesia
- Native to their resident altitude i.e., those born, raised, and have continuously lived at the same altitude, at least for the past 1 year.
Exclusion Criteria8
- Hypertensive disorder
- Cerebrovascular disease
- Mental disorder (schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders)
- Known fetal anomalies
- Contraindication to spinal anaesthesia.
- Those requiring general anaesthesia for delivery due to failed spinal anesthesia
