چکیده

The present study was undertaken to ascertain the feasibility of using a 25-gauge needle for arterial punctures. A total of 11,500 arterial punctures were performed over the past four years by this technique without any major complication. Repeated arterial punctures were well tolerated by all patients, and the necessity for indwelling arterial catheters was almost totally eliminated during this period of study.

Postulated Mechanisms for Post Dural Puncture Headache: Clinical Experience and Review Of Laboratory Models

In the 1950's, the generally accepted theory for the development of post dural puncture headache (PDPH) was leakage of cerebrospinal fluid via the hole in the dura which led to the introduction of smaller sized needles for dural puncture. This has lowered but not eliminated the incidence of PDPH. The literature has virtually as many different statistics on the incidence of PDPH as there are aut...

A Randomized Controlled Trial on the Effect of Needle Gauge on the Pain and Anxiety Experienced during Radial Arterial Puncture

BACKGROUND Arterial punctures for assessment of arterial blood-gases can be a painful procedure. Lidocaine can be used to reduce pain prior to needle insertion but it is not a widely accepted practice. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a large size needle induces more pain compared to a smaller size needle for radial arterial puncture and to assess the anxiety associated with r...

However, some Chinese anesthesiologists consider that bigger needles are suitable for emergency surgery, because it can shorten the puncture period. Present study aimed to compare 25-gauge (G) pencil point needle with 22G cutting needle for emergency caesarean section. Methods: In this prospective study, 200 femal...
