Background and Aim: Epidural anesthesia is one of the regional anesthesias that anesthesiologists usually perform for patients. Unintentional dural puncture is the most frequently occurring complications while performing epidural anesthesia. The aim of this study is to explore the factors influencing the unintentional dural puncture rate by anesthetists. Method: We retrospectively analyzed 15,932 cases of epidural anesthesia collected from a teaching medical center since October 1990 to May 2006. The influence of patient factors (included: age, sex, type of operation, ASA classification, emergency, invasive hemodynamic monitors) and work factors (included: anesthesia time, work shifts, cumulative work hours, anesthetists' experience, concurrency) to the rate of unintentional dural puncture was analyzed. Results: By logistic regression, The odds ratios in terms of UDP rates tbr 1 st year rufd 2'd year training residents are 3.29 and 3.09 times more than attending anesthesiologists. Older patient is 1.01 times per year more than younger patient. Orthopedic operations and non-orthopedic non-obstetric operations are 3.63 and 3.32 in comparison with obstetric operations. Late night shift is 2.94 times more than day shift. Conclusion: Old age, non-obstetric operation, late night shift, 1 ~~year and 211d year training resident were associated with higher rates of unintentional dural puncture. |
