@euklaas from @asznl is going to be presenting new perspectives on PDPH later this morning at #OAA3dc2022 and she sent a few teaser slides. The QR code gives you all her references (very useful things these codes)
@euklaas promises an interesting lecture at #OAA3dc2022 - poking the bear from the outset! I’m sure @asznl is pleased to have her amongst their #OBAnes specialists
Challenging new hypotheses. How does #OBAnes feel about the new? @FarberMichaela would probably pay some heed given the disease burden of PDPH with chronic headache (58.6% at 18months 🤯) and changing how we view PDPH is maybe how we change outcomes? #OAA3dc2022
Now knowing that EBP at time of ADP may be associated with less severe less frequent chronic headache, I may have argued with a p<0.05 result - but EPIMAP-2 wasn’t messing around when they choose the requirement of p<0.01. However, still place to safely discuss at #OAA3dc2022
@euklaas from @asznl presents on PDPH: new perspectives at #OAA3dc2022. (As promised by teaser) August Bier = father of PDPH, a surgeon started it not #OBAnes 😉
Current perspective on PDPH. ICHD-3 definition, tied to CSF pressure & volume as is pathophysiology. #OAA3dc2022
New anatomical perspectives challenge the classic CSF hypothesis. Choroid plexus not main site of production, CSF doesn’t circulate unidirectionally.
Bulat-Kiarica-Orešković hypothesis: osmotic & hydrostatic forces are main determinants of CSF movement, pulsates
Everyone needs to be on #Medtwitter@StephenLap! Watching @obstetriciasati talk about Obstetric hemorrhage I notice a trend observed at #OAA3dc2022 continuing: manual external aortic occlusion (a REBOA without surgeons or balloon catheter)
@ArviPalanisamy presents his philosophy on the Future of #OBAnes Research in this final session of #OAA3DC2022: practical, aspirational, inspirational (skipping the queue to catch a train, @noolslucas & @OAAinfo) very accommodating in view of train/tube strikes affecting London)
#OBAnes research has plateaued, advancing in increments. A change in thinking is required. Several low hanging fruit, #MindTheGap between #OBAnes research and practice - implementation science something for future? #OAA3dc2022
One subject ripe for implementation science study is awareness. DREAMY study factors associated are known, awareness common (perhaps we’re losing a skill?) & linked to PTSD. #BridgeTheGap#OAA3DC2022
@girardDev presents on managing the obese parturient at #OAA3dc2022. He sets the bar high for the future of presentations at #SOAPAM2023, #OAA23, #ASM23SYD: a QR code that links to all his references as well as a pdf of his slide deck - perfect for #OBAnes#SoMe & #FOAMed.
The value of PERI-oxygenation in obesity is not to be ignored. All patients will go blue, perioxygenated ones take 52 seconds longer (how long it feels depends on the sats?). We all remember the troop pillow, but do we remember the stool? Ergonomics of intubation #OAA3dc2022
@mbrrace meeting 10 November. Hope to see some live tweets of key messages @SusannaStanford. “We are ALL part of the solution” #OBAnes and obesity is definitely part of the puzzle, preventing it part of the solution. #OAA3dc2022
