epidural blood patch การใช้

Persistent and severe PDPH may require an epidural blood patch.
However, no difference has been found in the incidence of post dural puncture headache, requirement for epidural blood patch or maternal hypotension.
It is also postulated that the relief of the headache after an epidural blood patch is due to more of a compression effect than sealing the leak.
In my personal case, I have had four sets of 10-12 Epidural Blood Patches ( EBPs ), for a total of 50 EBPs.
Once identified, the leak can often be repaired by an epidural blood patch, an injection of the patient's own blood at the site of the leak, a fibrin glue injection or surgery.
