Epidural Blood Patch: Technique, Timing and Administration Practice - Pamela Flood, MD

[@contenderbp]

I had the procedure done. Needless to say I survived it. I had fell hard and cut my chin that required 5 stitches. About a week later I developed a headache that wouldn’t go away for 3 days. My head felt like it was going to explode. Went to the emergency room and low and behold….. when explained that I had an epidural hygroma. Wtf?! I was in the hospital for 10 days in pain. This was on top of my final month of chemo/radiation. Thank God I’m alive and walking. No more treatments no more looking back!

Can they not leave the needle in after epidurall, remove syringe leaving needle in place, then use same needle to inject blood?

I think it happens bc of the air bubble that we introduce if we are not careful.

easiest and best fix is blood patch, just get it done and get over it.

Feel like I’m drunk over a a week out. Still have head pressure, nausea and dr just says you’re in the 1%. Cop out and doesn’t care I feel bad. Just said drink caffeine.
