PDF20179 pages422 KB
Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a common complication following lumbar punctures. This study hypothesizes that adopting a lateral decubitus position during the procedure may reduce the incidence of PDPH compared to the traditional sitting position. The analysis pools data from randomized controlled trials to evaluate the effectiveness of this positioning strategy. The findings suggest a statistically significant reduction in PDPH incidence when the lateral decubitus position is used.
