🔓Three conclusions from this study:
-inserting a IT catheter alone does not decrease the incidence of PDPH.
-no benefit in leaving the catheter in for 24 h postpartum.
-injection of IT saline decreases the incidence of PDPH.

Epidural top up for cesarean delivery following a Dural Puncture Epidural (DPE) vs. standard epidural is:

▫️approximately 4 minutes quicker

▫️associated with better quality of anesthesia
