Dr Veronica Gillespie-Bell presents on Addressing the Maternal Health Crisis at #SOAPAM2023 - she speaks fast so bare with a delay 😉
Maternal M&M is a public health crisis. Scope of problem in USA, worst performing developed country, consistently increasing. #OBAnes#SOAPAM2023
Racial disparity is starkly demonstrated, it’s worsening. Maternity Care deserts is a very real problem (also in Canada). Cardiovascular conditions are leading cause of pregnancy-related deaths. #SOAPAM2023
Moving beyond the numbers - what do Maternal Mortality Review Committees (MMRC) do? Louisiana as example going forward. Process overview. #SOAPAM2023
Definitions. A Snapshot of Louisiana MMRC #OBAnes findings. Leading causes Pregnancy-associated vs Pregnancy-related. Compare to @mbrrace? #SOAPAM2023
Disparities in care based on race worsening for Black Americans, and similar to @mbrrace findings regarding social deprivation. #OBAnes#SOAPAM2023
@NOLAobgyn introduces recommendations for prevention of maternal M&M. Several places to intervene for numerous stakeholders. Priority areas list - surely #OBAnes can find something on this list? #SOAPAM2023
Using Data for action. Goals for prevention (priorities above) are more than just Maternal Mortality (the tip of the Iceberg). The pathway to improvement is through the lens of equity (@LateralTilt can check correct usage) Critical collaborations from the cogs in the machine… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
LaPQC support EBM to promote safe, equitable & dignified birth in the form of a partnership with local teams #SOAPAM2023
AIM improves quality through #patientsafety bundles, of which there are multiple. Bundles share common components for respectful care. Obstetric hemorrhage as an example. #SOAPAM2023.
17 years for translational research to go into practice! Driver diagram explaining a change program. What does partnership look like? #SOAPAM2023
Reducing maternal morbidity (the iceberg that lies beneath the water). Some successes. LaPQC programs. #SOAPAM2023
@NOLAobgyn provides a succinct summary for a complex topic. AIM program statement. References. #SOAPAM2023

@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
