“…No patient returned to the anesthesiology department after hospital discharge. We had no difficulties with the needles used in this study and we believe that the routine use of a spinal introducer was an important factor for maintaining direction during introduction 12 . Some authors 13 suggest that around 30 punctures are needed for training physicians to adapt to fine needles.…”

“…The risk for post dural puncture headache is a constant concern since the first spinal anesthesia 1 and may start few hours after or take several days to develop 3 . The exact post spinal puncture headache mechanism is still unknown 9 but there are evidences that CSF leak at puncture site would be the most probable etiologic cause 1,7-9, 12,13,15,[17][18][19] . Constant CSF leak leads to liquor hypotension reducing brain structures support, producing intracranial content traction and triggering pain 9,13,17,20 , but most studies establishing a relationship between headache and CSF leak were performed with extremely thick needles as compared to current ones 20 .…”
