Summary
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of altitude (high altitude versus low altitude) on incidence and severity of postural puncture headache (PDPH) following spinal anaesthesia for caesarean delivery. The investigators hypothesized that the risk of PDPH would be higher in highlander parturients than in lowlander parturients.
