Epidural blood patch: A narrative review

Anaesthesia Critical Care & Pain Medicine, 2022
The epidural blood patch (EBP) is one of the most effective treatments for intracranial hypotension. Anesthesiologists are familiar with performing EBPs for the treatment of dural puncture-associated intracranial hypotension following spinal anesthesia, complicated epidural analgesia, and diagnostic lumbar puncture.

The Prophylactic Epidural Blood Patch

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1974
To the Editor.— Considering the successes claimed for the epidural blood patch (EBP) in curing postspinal headache (PSH), it seemed logical that prophylactic instillation of autologous blood into the epidural space immediately following dural puncture might stave off this unpleasant complication.

We present the case of a 38-yr-old woman who required an epidural blood patch in the context of acute varicella (chickenpox). The unique risks in this case include the possible triggering of central nervous system complications after the introduction of viremic blood into the epidural or intrathecal space.

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 2003
Pneumocephalus is a rare complication of epidural block. We report a case of pneumocephalus complicating an epidural blood patch performed 3 days after unintentional dural puncture. Pneumocephalus may occur during an epidural blood patch procedure, even if the epidural needle tip is within the epidural space.

REGIONAL ANALGESIA FOLLOWING EPIDURAL BLOOD PATCH

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1975
During the period November 1972 through October 1974, 118 epidural blood patch procedures were performed for severe postlumbar-puncture cephalgia. Subsequently, in a period varying from 105 to 380 days, three patients, two of whom had twice undergone epidural blood patch, were readmitted for either surgical operation or delivery.

Efficacy of epidural blood patch in the obstetric population

International Journal of Obstetric Anesthesia, 1999
A retrospective audit of obstetric epidurals was performed at Royal Surrey County Hospital. The aim was to determine the efficacy of epidural blood patch in the management of post-dural puncture headache following inadvertent dural puncture in the obstetric population, over a 5-year period between March 1993 and February 1998.
