Discussion: Meta-analyses describe that parturients have a 1.5% risk of accidental dural puncture during epidural placement. Onset of the headache occurs as early as 1 or as late as 7 days after the procedure. Epidural blood patch is the most effective treatment for PDPH and a rapid response is diagnostic.
A: Usually one to three epidural injections are done, depending on how well you do after each one. Some patients get great relief after just one injection and do not need anymore. Some get good partial pain relief from the first injection and will do best if we repeat the injection in two to three weeks.
