Dr Christina Lamontagne kicks off the session with: Use of Dexmedetomidine in improving maternal experience and outcomes. Nothing to disclose. Then an important disclosure: All indications discussed are OFF LABEL in Canada. Objectives.
#OBAnes #CASAM2023
#OBAnes #CASAM2023
Why does Dr Lamontagne use a lot of dexmedetomidine (not only in #OBAnes mind)? Clinical pharmacology of dexmedetomidine (1): highly selective alpha-2 agonist; sedation WITHOUT amnesia at locus coeruleus. #CASAM2023
Up next: @ValZaph moderates the #OBAnes session on PPH: a focus on coagulation. Dr Karine Doyon and @LorrainechowMD presenting. #CASAM2023
PPH: a focus on coagulation is kicked off by Dr Karine Doyon (a hematologist). Objectives. Canada ranked 39th in world in maternal mortality - not sure if that’s good. We’re doing better than USA. #OBAnes #CASAM2023
Causes of coagulopathy in pregnancy - Dr Doyon won’t be discussing inherited disorders. The focus will be on the acquired hemorrhagic disorders. #OBAnes #CASAM2023
@DrWesleyEdwards chair of @CAS_OBSection introduces the first #OBAnes session of #CASAM2023.
Speakers: @SusannaStanford @ammunro2 @Ropivacaine
Speakers: @SusannaStanford @ammunro2 @Ropivacaine
@SusannaStanford starts off with the importance of having a talk with the word “failure” in it. #OBAnes #CASAM2023
I have not asked permission to share @SusannaStanford’s whole lecture video today, and it’s 20minutes long. However, see the following links:

Novel Content No.2 at #SOAPAM2023 virtual #OBAnes highlights Day 2: @DoctorStahl speaks on Obstetric Critical Care #OBCritCare
@DoctorStahl is an intensive care bear, who loves #OBAnes. QR code to references. #OBCritCare #SOAPAM2023
Pregnancy-associated mortality ≈ maternal mortality. #OBAnes 0.2% - doing well (wonder what the denominator is?), so Elmo could ask why are we worried? #SOAPAM2023
@matmedicine presents the first NOVEL content session of #SOAPAM2023 virtual #OBAnes highlights: Trauma in Pregnancy for the Non-Obstetric Provider. Objectives. Goals. All live from Italy - somewhat jealous @matmedicine
Physiological changes during pregnancy (1): Cardiac/ hemodynamic changes. Haematological changes. Are these protective? #OBAnes #SOAPAM2023
Physiological changes during pregnancy (2): Respiratory effects - displacement of diaphragm is key? ABG changes important - lactate the same in pregnant and non-pregnant @matmedicine? #OBAnes #SOAPAM2023
#SolShnider track 3 during #SOAPAM2023 virtual #OBAnes highlights Day 2 kicks off with @antonchau1 on DPE vs other LEA options.
Next up for #SolShnider track 3: Dr Clemens Ortner on #POCUS in #OBAnes emergencies. (@KalagaraHari @AnaSjaus)
Dr Mark Zakowski, MD presents on Barriers to optimal staffing in #OBAnes (topical for @OAAinfo, @SOAPHQ & @CAS_OBSection members - indeed the worldwide shortage of #AnyAnes makes this important for @wfsaorg @ASALifeline @ANZCA @docanaesthetic @CASUpdate) #SOAPAM2023. “Adapt or… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@JenDominguezMD kicks off first session of #SOAPAM2023 virtual #OBAnes highlights Day 2 with the best case reports. Learning objectives. #SoMe embargo on content (@AnaSjaus ahem). Divided into 4 topics.
Distinguished judges!
@SparklesSpinals then proceeded to speak on opioids in pregnancy and beyond #OBAnes
Just off great @dasairway @OAAinfo #OBAnes airway masterclass webinar with @silv24 chairing, @ProfEllenO @noolslucas @Chakladar_A and @DesireOnwochei giving expert opinions - lots of notes taken, tweets to follow twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Right, let’s get to it. The #OBAnes airway - shifting the paradigm; a @dasairway & @OAAinfo masterclass. Two Profs in the corner… this should be interesting. @noolslucas kicks off the webinar.
What is a difficult airway? @ASALifeline definition: a clinical situation, conventionally trained anesthesiologist, difficult face mask ventilation/ intubation/ both.

@rr_metabolicmed presents the Bruce Scott Lecture 2023 at #OAA23ASM: Obesity & diabetes in pregnancy - legacy for the child. #OBAnes
Study of 1.3 million pregnant women reveals global obesity crisis: 75% pregnant women fail to achieve healthy weight gain during pregnancy, leading to preventable adverse health consequences for both the women and their babies. Obesity has strong evidence for increased risk of… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Maternal obesity and offspring cardiovascular disease: maternal obesity increases offspring cardiovascular death (Hazard ratio [all cause mortality] = 1.35). At current UK maternal obesity rates, this equates to extra 650 deaths before age 50 each year. The Hazard ratio for type… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Prof Donald Peebles on Embedding Maternal Medicine Networks at #OAA23ASM. Knowing who to call is half the solution to any problem? (Touched on by @elsmere_g during #OBAnes session at #Anaesthesia2023)
Direct maternal mortality rate per 100,000 maternities had been decreasing over the last 2 decades, but should a remarkable upswing since 2018, not all accounted for by #COVID19. @mbrrace outlined a case for change: most parts of UK have MDT, but make up variable most without… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The Maternal Medicine Network (MMN) mandate: ensure timely access to specialist advice and care at all stages of pregnancy. Development of Maternal Medicine specialist centres as regional hub & spoke model = urgent national priority (@DOckendenLtd report)

Dr Katy Sheehan and @ArcBroom present the pick of the posters at #OAA23ASM. 4 criteria for selection of #OBAnes abstracts.
A positive start, with the power of positive communication on patient satisfaction, morale & culture, and #patientsafety #OBAnes #OAA23ASM
Barriers to care. Ethnicity, Language and Socioeconomic deprivation. @mbrrace, @TheLancet, and most recently @Anaes_Journal (@LateralTilt @noolslucas @SQuashie @Marianfknight) set the stage. #OBAnes #OAA23ASM
@NoelleHealy (another 🇮🇪 representative - @ISOA_Ireland well represented!) presents on #OBAnes as a team sport - how do we perform better? at #OAA23ASM. Quite an inspiring quote, then setting the stage with @Fionafionakel et al #humanfactors guidelines in @Anaes_Journal… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Why is teamwork important in OB/ #OBAnes? @mbrrace suggests some lessons to be learned. Prompt action is arguably reliant on good communication, within & between teams. Involving consultant/ specialist care early has been a theme for over a decade. #OAA23ASM
@DOckendenLtd’ final report highlighted “conflicting agendas and poor teamwork” contribute to adverse maternal & neonatal outcomes? So how do we create good teams?
The @JulieAndrews approach may have the hills alive, but for #OBAnes we may need to start at the very beginning,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@emirakur presents an update on @NAPs_RCoA NAP7 Perioperative cardiac arrest & #OBAnes at #OAA23ASM.
The history of @NAPs_RCoA projects and key findings for #OBAnes over the years (failed intubation NAP4 1:390, recent US data 1:808 - gotten better or different methodology?) #OAA23ASM
Cardiac arrest in pregnancy. CAPS study @BJOGTweets (I see @Marianfknight?) looked at incidence, management & outcomes in UK. #OBAnes have a significant slice of the pie. @SOAPHQ serious complication repository project (incl. @RichSmileyMD @bscottsegal) provide US data: cardiac… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@Rose_Kearsley (@RotundaHospital - my fellowship alma mater) speaks on #OBAnes in the 4th trimester at #OAA23ASM.
At the outset, @Rose_Kearsley addresses the definition of trimester (3 months, not only “a third of”). It’s not a novel concept - in lay, academic and anesthesia literature - which makes sense when one thinks of how many pregnancy-associated disease extend beyond delivery (not… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
#OBAnes workload. 33.3% time on procedures. NB average workload does NOT reflect ebbs & flows, more so surges of activity. @NAPs_RCoA NAP7 data: majority of labour analgesia 1800-0800; #OBAnes accounts for majority of single speciality #AnyAnes work 1800-0800; increasing obesity… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@LimGrapes continues her tour de force at #OAA23ASM with Decision Making and Neuraxial Anesthesia. New evidence around thrombocytopenia and how those guidelines affect decision making in #OBAnes
To start: a Case. Possible evolving HELLP. Trends are important. Discuss anesthesia options.
#OBAnes #OAA23ASM
#OBAnes #OAA23ASM
Defining the problem: preeclampsia itself results in qualitative platelet dysfunction (even before HELLP). Preeclampsia has circulating microthrombi. Platelets are pre-activated, proaggregatory and prothrombotic BUT don’t respond to exposed collagen —> perioperative bleeding… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@LimGrapes lays out the objectives of her talk and highlights the model for improvement applicable to #AnyAnes. Great quote! #OBAnes #OAA23ASM
@DevroeSarah presents on Anaesthesia in Pregnancy and Neurodevelopment at #OAA23ASM. Quite an outline! #OBAnes
@DevroeSarah begins with epidemiology - 0.4-1% pregnant women will have non-OB surgery during their pregnancy. Fetus = innocent bystander. Complicated question. What is the pathobiology of normal brain development? Is there a link between anaesthesia and impaired brain… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Mechanisms? Drug-induced vs multifactorial. Preclinical evidence of consistent association. Clinical evidence inconclusive. Preclinical findings certainly headline grabbing, which prompted a systematic review and meta-analysis from Bleeser et al (incl. @DevroeSarah @rex_steffen… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@RopeyP: it’s good to talk - multispeciality decision-making for the pregnant patient having urgent non-OB surgery. SLIDO. Disclosures - #OBAnes is quite welcoming though. #OAA23ASM
@rjharrison79 opens #OAA23ASM with an update on Labour Analgesia for 2023. Sir James Young Simpson remembered.
It reads like an #Ostheimer - @rjharrison79 may be a contender to fill @PervezSultanMD’s shoes? Love the QR codes! #OBAnes at #OAA23ASM has gone state of the art!
Starting with the mainstays: choice of local anaesthetic and intrathecal morphine. Prilocaine 2% has compared favourably with bupivacaine 0.5%. However, there are caveats: if prilocaine is to be considered for routine #OBAnes it is recommended a CSE be used. ITM does NOT prevent… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The very topical: inadequate neuraxial anaesthesia for cesarean section. See lectures from @hnixon147 and @PervezSultanMD from recent @SOAPHQ annual meeting elsewhere on my timeline - this is a widespread concern. @Jamesocarroll has initiated a large multicentre trial through the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
