#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…

Pure numbers of epidurals & cesareans are deceptive, there are context issues as well. Do #OBAnes teach, how sick are patients? #OBAnes workforce survey: size of hospital changes how we staff. We are more than just needle jockeys. #SOAPAM2023

So #OBAnes includes more than technical skills. What are our expectations? #SOAPAM2023

And what of other members of the #OBAnes team including the parturient themselves? #SOAPAM2023

Lessons from across the pond (@OAAinfo @Assoc_Anaes) Dr Zakowski likes the @noolslucas Lucas classification - me too! #OBAnes #SOAPAM2023

TOLAC should probably be provided only at certain centres (or disclosure/ informed consent to patient). Management of intrapartum FHR is essential (30minutes here too) #OBAnes #SOAPAM2023

Nursing support is mission critical, they have a role to play in #OBAnes. What are employers concerned about? Are there regulatory concerns? #SOAPAM2023

What IS optimal staffing? Does depend on who you ask. Common errors - average case load is a bad idea in #OBAnes. Workload is non-linear. #SOAPAM2023

What does @SOAPHQ centres of excellence data show? #OBAnes #SOAPAM2023

Key point to #OBAnes - when it rains it pours #SOAPAM2023

Economics of L&D. #OBAnes services contracting. Which service/ procedure is more expensive? Uncovered services have an important impact. #SOAPAM2023

Got staff? National anesthesia provider staffing - increased demand. But L&D/ #OBAnes staffing differs in several respects. #SOAPAM2023

We need to expand pool of providers, not just for work life balance. Total pools. Turnover is high. #AnyAnes staffing is supply vs demand. #OBAnes #SOAPAM2023
