Not the cowboy (that was Wayne) - although from Manitoba, so you might be excused. Who was John Wade? @conorpunchbook unable to make it, Dr Jordan Tarshis filling in. #CASAM2022
Human factor engineering - multiple inter-related domains some may be surprising #CASAM2022
Case study 1/ additional info - surgeon and anesthesiologist have history of poor communication bad cases tension abounds. Nurses not happy to have this combo. Surgeon responses terse and short. #CASAM2022
Case study 2/ surgeon wants HIS retractor, all communication tense. Nothing wrong on his side - really need to do a time out… team focus is really on completing the case
Case study 3/ what does anesthesiologist think they need to be doing? Certainly not the timeout… #CASAM2022
Case study 4/ surgeon leaves immediately (just finished difficult case) nurses worried about unstable patient going to PACU #CASAM2022
Case study 5/ do we recognize all the problems? #CASAM2022
CMPA experience - largest medico-legal database in world(?) #CASAM2022
EHR - a benefit or a burden? AI in anesthesia - would we trust it? How do we assess situational awareness? #CASAM2022
Ah! The get into groups and reflect - detracts slightly from the virtual experience (this session probably better in person) #CASAM2022
@SQuashie presents an update on anesthesia for operative delivery. Declarations. Methodology and themes. #OAA24ASM #OBAnes
Gastric USS. Oral rehydration has benefits over NPO wrt vasopressor use. #siptilsend safe, noting some patients have increased gastric volumes irrespective of starvation status. #OAA24ASM #OBAnes
@SQuashie continues at a rapid pace. To DPE or not to DPE remains a question - 16min vs 19 min, is that 3 min clinically relevant? Esketamine for supplemental analgesia - >95% had psych effects, read @rjharrison79 editorial. #OAA24ASM #OBAnes
@Jamesocarroll presents an Update on Labour and Delivery. Disclosures #OAA24ASM #OBAnes
How the lecture was put together. Screening. Themes. How to interpret the slides. Very Ostheimer-esque @Jamesocarroll #OAA24ASM #OBAnes
@Jamesocarroll Clinical practice theme: intrathecal catheters & ADP. Intrathecal catheters: No decrease in PDPH, but reduction in EBP. 10mL intrathecal saline decreased PDPH & need for EBP. Of note, the percentage of epidurals requiring multiple attempts. #OAA24ASM #OBAnes
8am-ish in Denver and time for a much anticipated session: PDPH beyond the guidelines. Moderated by Dr Lisa Leffert, featuring @Ropivacaine, @euklaas, @sharonOzynger and @WouterSchievink at #SOAPAM2024 #OBAnes
(HT: @Ropivacaine, bless his heart, he knows I hate missing out)
Hot off the Press? August 2023! @JAMANetworkOpen with quite an illustrious team including @Ropivacaine @robin_russell1 @KalagaraHari @LimGrapes @claralexlobo @noolslucas @NarouzeMD (please tag others if you have their handles?) #SOAPAM2024 #OBAnes
Introduction, Methods and the 10 questions. #SOAPAM2024 #OBAnes
Next up at #CASAM2023 - fittingly keeping the most important academic session to last: #OBAnes @ValZaph moderating the Maternal Experience and Outcomes: Improving the care we provide. @DrWesleyEdwards
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
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
Dr Ning Nan Wang introduces @harshamd5 to open the chronic pain session: Perioperative use of opioid in the context of Opioid Epidemic. #CASAM2023
The opioid crisis isn’t new - China probably remembers the Opium wars that helped establish a British foothold on the continent. Opioids and OUR crisis. Is what we fear the real crisis? Are opioid-related deaths due to surgical prescriptions? No, mostly due to street fentanyl.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Opioid use around the time of surgery. Understanding nociception vs pain. Does eliminating opioids during surgery make a difference - no definitive conclusions. #CASAM2023
