Comparing two techniques of performing an epidural catheter-assisted epidural blood patch using a 20 ml syringe versus a 5 ml syringe and its effect on clotting time, the strength of clot retraction and haemolysis – A prospective in vitro study (EC-EBP study)

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Epidural blood patch (EBP) is performed by injecting autologous blood into the epidural space using a Tuohy needle.
