T. G. CHEEK, M.D., R. BANNER, M.D., J. SAUTER, M.D. and B. B. GUTSCHE, M.D.

Department of Anesthesia, University of Pennsylvania Medical Center Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, U.S.A.

Ten obstetric patients received 17–20 ml of autologous blood through an extradural catheter after inadvertent dural puncture. The time interval from dural puncture to prophylactic extradural blood patch ranged from 90 to 660 min. One of the 10 patients developed a mild occipital headache, which required no further intervention.
