Introduction:

The history of spinal anesthesia, began on August 16, 1898, the first spinal anesthesia in history based one of the cornerstones of anesthesiology. More than a hundred years later and despite the technological development that accompanies the specialty, even regional anesthesia is a technique widely used worldwide, not free of complications, which highlights the dural post-puncture headache.

Objective:

To describe the prevalence and characteristics of dural post-puncture headache in patients with ambulation, early or not, undergoing subarachnoid spinal anesthesia, for arthroscopic knee surgery.

Method:

A descriptive observational study was conducted in a series of cases (100), attended at the Central Military Hospital "Carlos J. Finlay", which were divided into two groups. The group I formed by those who wandered at 4 hours after the intervention and group II wandered at 14 hours. In both groups, spinal anesthesia with atraumatic trocar of the Whitacre type was used.

Results:

In both groups there were no reported cases of dural post-puncture headache.

Conclusions:

There were no cases of dural post-puncture headache in patients with ambulation, early or not, undergoing subarachnoid spinal anesthesia for arthroscopic knee surgery.
