Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Este estudo foi conduzido para investigar os efeitos da reinserção do estilete em cefaleia pós-punção dural (CPPD) após raquianestesia. MÉTODOS: Foram selecionados para este estudo 630 pacientes submetidos a cirurgia eletiva com raquianestesia. Os pacientes foram randomicamente designados para dois grupos: Grupo A (reinserção do estilete antes da retirada da agulha) e Grupo B (retirada da agulha sem reinserção do estilete). Os pacientes foram observados durante 24 horas no hospital e avaliados quanto à CPPD no terceiro e sétimo dias do estudo. RESULTADOS: No geral, a incidência da CPPD foi de 10,8% (68 pacientes). Trinta e três desses pacientes (10,5%) que estavam no Grupo A e 35 (11,1%) no grupo B tiveram CPPD. Não houve diferença significativa entre os dois grupos em relação à CPPD. CONCLUSÕES: Ao contrário da punção lombar diagnóstica, a reinserção do estilete após raquianestesia com agulhas tipo Quincke de calibre 25 não reduz a incidência de CPPD.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of reinsertion of the stylet after a spinal anesthesia procedure on the Post Dural Puncture Headache (PDPH). METHODS: We have enrolled into this study 630 patients who were undergoing elective operations with spinal anesthesia and randomized them to Group A (stylet replacement before needle removal) and Group B (needle removal without stylet replacement). These patients were observed for the duration of 24 hours in the hospital and they were checked for PDPH on the 3rd and the 7th day of the study. RESULTS: Overall, the PDPH incidence was at 10.8% (68 patients). Thirty-three of these patients (10.5%) who were in Group A (stylet replacement before needle removal) and the other 35 patients (11.1%) who were in Group B (needle removal without stylet replacement) experienced PDPH. There was no significant difference between the two groups with respect to the PDPH. CONCLUSIONS: In contrary to the diagnostic lumbar puncture, reinsertion of the stylet after spinal anesthesia with 25-gauge Quincke needles does not reduce the incidence of PDPH.
