Comparison of the Effect of Landmark-Based Midline and Paramedian Approaches on Spinal Anesthesia-Related Complications in Adult Patients: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:178. [PMID: 38276057 PMCID: PMC10819311 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60010178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Spinal anesthesia is widely used in various types of surgery. However, several complications can occur afterward. This study aimed to identify differences in the incidence of anesthesia-related complications according to the approach methods (midline versus paramedian) for landmark-based spinal anesthesia. Materials and Methods: We searched electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Scopus, and Web of Science, for eligible randomized controlled trials. The primary outcome was post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) incidence, and secondary outcomes were low back pain (LBP) incidence and success rate in the first trial of spinal anesthesia. We estimated the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) using a random-effects model. Results: In total, 2280 patients from 13 randomized controlled trials were included in the final analysis. The incidence rates of PDPH were 5.9% and 10.4% in the paramedian and midline approach groups, respectively. The pooled effect size revealed that the incidence of PDPH (OR: 0.43, 95% CI [0.22-0.83]; p = 0.01; I2 = 53%) and LBP (OR: 0.27, 95% CI [0.16-0.44]; p < 0.001; I2 = 16%) decreased, and the success rate in the first attempt was higher (OR: 2.30, 95% CI [1.36-3.87]; p = 0.002; I2 = 35%) with the paramedian than with the midline approach. Conclusions: Paramedian spinal anesthesia reduced PDPH and LBP and increased the success rate of the first attempt.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this article is to provide readers with a concise overview of the cause, incidence, treatment of, and sequalae of postdural puncture headaches (PDPH). Over the past 2 years, much data has been published on modifiable risk factors for PDPH, treatments for PDPH, and sequalae of PDPH particularly long-term. RECENT FINDINGS There is emerging data about how modifiable risk factors for PDPH are not as absolute as once believed. There have been several new meta-analysis and clinical trials published, providing more data about effective therapies for PDPH. Significantly, much recent data has come out about the sequalae, particularly long-term of dural puncture. SUMMARY Emerging evidence demonstrates that in patients who are at low risk of PDPH, needle type and gauge may be of no consequence in a patient developing a PDPH. Although epidural blood patch (EBP) remains the gold-standard of therapy, several other interventions, both medical and procedural, show promise and may obviate the need for EBP in patients with mild-moderate PDPH. Patients who endure dural puncture, especially accidental dural puncture (ADP) are at low but significant risk of developing short term issues as well as chronic pain symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to identify complications associated with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collection in dogs. METHODS This was a prospective, observational multicentre study using data collected from 102 dogs undergoing CSF collection for the investigation of neurological disease. CSF was collected from the cerebellomedullary cistern (CMC), lumbar subarachnoid space (LSAS) or both sites. Pre-, intra- and postprocedural data were collected. Descriptive statistics were performed to outline complications associated with CSF collection. RESULTS CSF sampling was attempted on 108 occasions, and CSF was acquired on 100 occasions (92.6%). Collection from the CMC was more likely to be successful than that from the LSAS. No dogs exhibited neurologic deterioration following CSF collection. There was no significant difference between pre- and post-CSF collection short-form Glasgow composite measure pain scores in ambulatory dogs (p = 0.13). LIMITATIONS The scarcity of complications limited the ability to quantify the incidence of some potential complications reported elsewhere. CONCLUSIONS Our results may be used to inform clinicians and owners that CSF sampling is associated with a low frequency of complications when performed by trained personnel.

Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines on postdural puncture headache: a consensus report from a multisociety international working group. Reg Anesth Pain Med 2023:rapm-2023-104817. [PMID: 37582578 DOI: 10.1136/rapm-2023-104817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/17/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) can follow unintentional dural puncture during epidural techniques or intentional dural puncture during neuraxial procedures such as a lumbar puncture or spinal anesthesia. Evidence-based guidance on the prevention, diagnosis or management of this condition is, however, currently lacking. This multisociety guidance aims to fill this void and provide practitioners with comprehensive information and patient-centric recommendations to prevent, diagnose and manage patients with PDPH. METHODS Based on input from committee members and stakeholders, the committee cochairs developed 10 review questions deemed important for the prevention, diagnosis and management of PDPH. A literature search for each question was performed in MEDLINE (Ovid) on 2 March 2022. The results from each search were imported into separate Covidence projects for deduplication and screening, followed by data extraction. Additional relevant clinical trials, systematic reviews and research studies published through March 2022 were also considered for the development of guidelines and shared with contributors. Each group submitted a structured narrative review along with recommendations graded according to the US Preventative Services Task Force grading of evidence. The interim draft was shared electronically, with each collaborator requested to vote anonymously on each recommendation using two rounds of a modified Delphi approach. RESULTS Based on contemporary evidence and consensus, the multidisciplinary panel generated 50 recommendations to provide guidance regarding risk factors, prevention, diagnosis and management of PDPH, along with their strength and certainty of evidence. After two rounds of voting, we achieved a high level of consensus for all statements and recommendations. Several recommendations had moderate-to-low certainty of evidence. CONCLUSIONS These clinical practice guidelines for PDPH provide a framework to improve identification, evaluation and delivery of evidence-based care by physicians performing neuraxial procedures to improve the quality of care and align with patients' interests. Uncertainty remains regarding best practice for the majority of management approaches for PDPH due to the paucity of evidence. Additionally, opportunities for future research are identified.

Abstract
Importance Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) can follow unintentional dural puncture during epidural techniques or intentional dural puncture during neuraxial procedures, such as a lumbar puncture or spinal anesthesia. Evidence-based guidance on the prevention, diagnosis, and management of this condition is, however, currently lacking. Objective To fill the practice guidelines void and provide comprehensive information and patient-centric recommendations for preventing, diagnosing, and managing PDPH. Evidence Review With input from committee members and stakeholders of 6 participating professional societies, 10 review questions that were deemed important for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of PDPH were developed. A literature search for each question was performed in MEDLINE on March 2, 2022. Additional relevant clinical trials, systematic reviews, and research studies published through March 2022 were also considered for practice guideline development and shared with collaborator groups. Each group submitted a structured narrative review along with recommendations that were rated according to the US Preventive Services Task Force grading of evidence. Collaborators were asked to vote anonymously on each recommendation using 2 rounds of a modified Delphi approach. Findings After 2 rounds of electronic voting by a 21-member multidisciplinary collaborator team, 47 recommendations were generated to provide guidance on the risk factors for and the prevention, diagnosis, and management of PDPH, along with ratings for the strength and certainty of evidence. A 90% to 100% consensus was obtained for almost all recommendations. Several recommendations were rated as having moderate to low certainty. Opportunities for future research were identified. Conclusions and Relevance Results of this consensus statement suggest that current approaches to the treatment and management of PDPH are not uniform due to the paucity of evidence. The practice guidelines, however, provide a framework for individual clinicians to assess PDPH risk, confirm the diagnosis, and adopt a systematic approach to its management.

Abstract
Abstract
Background Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is defined as a prolonged orthostatic headache secondary to a lumbar puncture. The mechanism underlying this unpleasant complication and the reasons explaining its higher incidence in the young are not well understood. Here, we speculate on the mechanisms underlying PDPH based on spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with PDPH and an anatomical study on the size of the intervertebral foramen.
Methods Brain and spinal MRI findings were examined in two young women with PDPH. The relationship between age and size of the intervertebral foramen on computed tomography was assessed in 25 female volunteers (22–89 years old) without spinal disease.
Results The causative interventions leading to PDPH were epidural anesthesia for painless delivery in a 28-year-old woman and lumbar puncture for examination of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in a 17-year-old woman. These two patients developed severe orthostatic hypotension following the procedure. Brain MRI showed signs of intracranial hypotension, including subdural effusion, in one patient, but no abnormality in the other. Spinal MRI revealed an anterior shift of the spinal cord at the thoracic level and CSF exudation into the paravertebral space at the lumbar level. Treatment involving an epidural blood patch in one patient and strict bed rest with sufficient hydration in the second led to improvement of symptoms and reduction of paravertebral CSF exudation. The size of the intervertebral foramen at the L2–3 level in the 25 volunteers showed a decrease in an age-dependent manner (Spearman's rho −0.8751, p < 0.001).
Conclusion We suggest that CSF exudation from the epidural space of the vertebral canal to the paravertebral space through the intervertebral foramen, which is generally larger in the younger population, is the causative mechanism of PDPH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the association between traumatic tap and the incidence of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) following lumbar puncture (LP) among patients who underwent LP with a primary discharge diagnosis of primary headache in the emergency department (ED). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who visited a single tertiary ED with the symptom of a headache and underwent LP for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis between January 2012 and January 2022. Patients who met the definition of PDPH and revisited the ED or outpatient clinic within 2 weeks of discharge were included. For comparative analysis, we divided the groups according to CSF RBC counts (group 1, CSF RBC <10 cells/μL; group 2, 10-100 cells/μL; group 3, ≥100 cells/μL). The primary outcome was the difference in CSF RBC counts between the ED or outpatient clinic revisiting patients who underwent LP within 2 weeks after discharge from the ED. The secondary outcomes were the admission rate and risk factors for PDPH; sex, age, needle size, and CSF pressure. RESULTS Data from 112 patients were collected; PDPH was reported in 39 patients (34.8%), and 40 (35.7%) patients were admitted. The median (interquartile range) CSF RBC count was 10 [2-100.8] cells/μL. One-way analysis of variance test of the mean differences among the three groups showed no differences in age, the duration of headache before LP, PLT counts, PT, or aPTT among the groups. There were differences in the number of admitted patients (30 vs. 7 vs. 3, P < 0.001) and the incidence of PDPH (29 vs. 6 vs. 4, P < 0.003). In the comparison of the PDPH and non-PDPH groups, there were differences in age (28.7 ± 8.4 years vs. 36.9 ± 18.4 years, P = 0.01) and the admission rate (85% vs. 9%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Notably, our results suggest that traumatic LP may be an unexpected factor in reducing the occurrence rate of PDPH. Consequently, the admission rate for PDPH was significantly reduced among patients with traumatic LP and those with primary headaches. In this study, we collected and analyzed the data from a relatively small sample size of 112 patients. Further studies are needed to evaluate the relationship between traumatic LP and PDPH.
