  • Title: Spinal anaesthesia with 29 gauge Quincke point needles and post dural puncture headache in 2,378 patients.
    Author: Dittmann M, Schaefer HG, Renkl F, Greve I.
    Journal: Acta Anaesthesiol Scand; 1994 Oct; 38(7):691-3. PubMed ID: 7839778.
    Abstract:
    Two thousand three hundred and seventy-eight spinal anaesthetics using a 29 G Quincke point needle were administered in a District Hospital between May 1983 and December 1991. The overall post dural puncture headache rate (PDPH) was 1.2% with a maximum of 2.5% in patients between age 30 and 39. PDPH was related to the experience of using 29 G needles (0.5% in consultants versus 2.0% in trainees, P < 0.05).
