@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

Some more background for case-based discussion. Aims of anaesthesia when there’s more than 1 patient. Planning for surgery isn’t “big syringe, little syringe”. What are the patient’s priorities? Do ours align? #OBAnes #OAA23ASM

Multiple disciplines feeding into patient experience and decision making. She has indications for surgery - don’t delay. Management options (BRAN) - laparoscopic subtotal colectomy. #OBAnes #OAA23ASM

“Evidence” re laparoscopic surgery in pregnancy. Weighing options - pros and cons, often conflicting between anaesthesia & surgery (finding balance is important). Multidisciplinary discussion. Other issues associated with surgery during pregnancy. #OBAnes #OAA23ASM

How it went? Well. And in the longer term? “Definitely the right thing to do” #OBAnes #OAA23ASM

Learning points from @RopeyP and a great closing quote! #OBAnes #OAA23ASM
