BACKGROUND: Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is a major complication of neuraxial anesthesia in cesarean deliveries. This study aimed to reduce PDPH incidence through a quality improvement initiative focusing on operating room (OR) efficiency and anesthetic management. METHODS: Using Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles, interventions included preoperative catheterization, synchronized scrubbing, and improved surgeon-anesthetist coordination. Spinal anesthesia protocols were refined with atraumatic needle techniques and standardized vasopressor use. Data from the pre-intervention (April to October 2023) and post-intervention (November 2023 to April 2024) periods were compared. RESULTS: OR time decreased from 105 to 85 minutes. PDPH incidence dropped from 16% (21/140 lower segment cesarean sections (LSCS)) to 1.5% (2/127 LSCS). Vasopressor use declined, with ephedrine doses reducing from 17 mg to 6 mg and phenylephrine from 30 mcg to 5 mcg, improving hemodynamic stability. CONCLUSION: Workflow enhancements effectively reduced PDPH incidence by optimizing OR efficiency and anesthetic management. Iterative PDSA cycles and real-time feedback contributed to sustained improvements, offering a scalable model for cesarean delivery quality improvement.
