Post-dural Puncture Headache
00:00
A young 23-year-old primipara giving birth naturally is requiring an epidural because of a severe pain. What laboratory tests will be required to perform the procedure?
Blood clotting test, full blood count
Correct answer
Despite the fact that pregnancy is a procoagulant state, one of the most severe complications is an epidural haematoma, therefor we need to know coagulation state of the patient.Full blood count, glucose test
Incorrect answer
You have just endangered the patient by epidural haematoma. Sole full blood count is not sufficient, we need to have a blood clotting test as well. A glucose test is not necessary.Blood clotting test, blood lipid tests
Incorrect answer
You have endangered the patient by epidural hematoma. Just a blood clotting test is not enough, it is necessary to know a number of thrombocytes and therefore we need to have a full blood count too. Blood lipid tests are not necessary.Blood clotting test, glucose test
Incorrect answer
Be aware! You need to know a coagulation state of the patient to avoid an epidural haematoma. Blood clotting test is not sufficient, you need to have a full blood count too. A glucose test is not necessary.
