Scenario:

You are called by a midwife to review a patient on the ward who had a vaginal delivery yesterday with an epidural for pain relief and now she has a bad headache. They are concerned that maybe she has a postdural puncture headache.

Join Matt and Roger again as this week they discuss the management of a patient with possible or proven post-dural puncture headache.
