Cefaleia pós-anestesia raquidiana tratada com tamponamento sanguíneo peridural: Análise epidemiológica

Abstract

Objective: Identify the frequency of headache after spinal anesthesia treated with epidural blood buffering factors associated with demographic and clinical partners at a hospital in southwestern Paraná. Methodology: Descriptive study cohort retrospective cross through document analysis for the investigation of epidural blood buffering, performed from secondary headache in patients who underwent spinal anesthesia in the period from 06 November 2009 to May 7, 2014. Results: Identified 85 tamponade with an overall prevalence rate of 11.30% 000 0.56% in males and 1.6% in males (p = <0.05). The annual incidence is presented and with increasing prevalence in females. Regarding Autracan and Quincke needles used no statistical difference was observed. The predominant age groups were subgroups 15-30 years (34.11%) and between 30 and 45 years (38.82%). Conclusion: The prevalence and incidence of epidural blood tamponade for treatment of headache secondary to spinal anesthesia is still common and no definitive resolutions. Evident prophylactic care should be employed, since the return of the patient to the operating room denotes unknown feelings and socioeconomic impacts.
