@LorrainechowMD opens 2nd #OBAnes session of #CASAM2022! @antonchau1 presenting the PRO argument for DPE (@BrighamOBAnes alumnus and all) against Dr Paul Wieczorek (no Twitter handle - @CAS_OBSection to work on inviting to #Medtwitter)

Good PRO argument #OBAnes #CASAM2022

Now to switch things up… start at summary slide for CON (mainly because Paul started with evaluation of the pro side, to follow) Love the NASA/ space analogy - sometimes better isn’t and we need to perfect what we know works? #OBAnes #CASAM2022

So a great con side, often using the same papers as the pro. #OBAnes #CASAM2022

Apart from sacral coverage, benefits of making a hole are equivocal #OBAnes #CASAM2022

If it helps with placement are we seeing clinical benefit? Not according to literature #OBAnes #CASAM2022

And concerns with DPE? Although in fairness the last probably applies to CSE as well? #OBAnes #CASAM2022

Hmmm “IS” PIEB the answer? #OBAnes #CASAM2022

Great debate BUT the best part in my mind is what they really do - remember that debates are just that, what we do IRL is somewhat different. This is a great addition @SOAPHQ @OAAinfo - Personally haven’t found use for DPE yet - epidural or CSE man myself. #OBAnes #CASAM2022
