    Abstract

    Background & Methods: The aim of the study is to evaluate of postdural puncture backache in cases of lscs under subarachnoid block given by resident doctors. Successful identification of the subarachnoid space with one skin puncture and no redirection of the spinal needle was considered as first pass success. The subarachnoid block was given by resident doctor. Results: The mean duration of backache was 2 ± 1.5days. All patients responded to treatment with paracetamol and diclofenac. Factors affecting the incidence of PDPB. The factors did not affect the incidence of PDPB: age (P = 0.606), elective or emergency LSCS (P = 0.324) or parturient in labour (P = 0.709), previous spinal anaesthesia (P = 0.389), body habitus (P = 0.125), bony deformity (P = 0.875), occurrence of paraesthesia (P = 1.000), contact of spinal needle with bone (P = 0.078), duration of surgery (P = 0.058), time to sitting (P = 0.346) and time to ambulation (P = 0.748), occurrence of PDPH (P = 0.628).
