Dr Neel Desai provides an Update on Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery at #OAA23ASM #OBAnes Image
Starting with the mainstays: choice of local anaesthetic and intrathecal morphine. Prilocaine 2% has compared favourably with bupivacaine 0.5%. However, there are caveats: if prilocaine is to be considered for routine #OBAnes it is recommended a CSE be used. ITM does NOT prevent… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImage
The very topical: inadequate neuraxial anaesthesia for cesarean section. See lectures from @hnixon147 and @PervezSultanMD from recent @SOAPHQ annual meeting elsewhere on my timeline - this is a widespread concern. @Jamesocarroll has initiated a large multicentre trial through the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImage
Excellent guidelines on testing blocks and approaches to inadequate #OBanes in @Anaes_Journal from Dr Felicity Plaat, @SusannaStanford @noolslucas et al. Keystone = multimodal testing. Upper and lower limits should be assessed (lower is more tricky) #OAA23ASM ImageImageImage
Regarding GA for cesarean section: PERIoxygenation. TIVA for cesarean section- do we know enough? Are models we have for TCI applicable in pregnant population? @YavorRM has lots of research questions. Risk factors for #OBAnes difficult intubation similar to non-pregnant… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImage
Carbetocin non-inferior to oxytocin (not necessarily equivalent, not superior), does have advantages but at a price? IV dexamethasone has analgesic benefits- is it safe for all #OBAnes? Is there an optimal NSAID for post cesarean section analgesia? #OAA23ASM ImageImageImageImage
TAP block superior to wound infiltration wrt pain score at rest at 2h, but no other differences (this is not simple subdermal infiltration mind you - @MarcVandeVelde6 has an impressive video not for #SoMe). ESP block for cesarean section - I have some concerns about this in… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImageImage
ESP has been included in PROSPECT guideline for elective cesarean section. Premature? #OBAnes #OAA23ASM Image
Ethnic disparities in #OBAnes care. @SQuashie covered this extensively at #Anaesthesia2023 - her lecture is elsewhere on my timeline. More likely to receive GA, less likely to have a neauraxial for assisted delivery - worrying. The why’s abound, definitely an area for more… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Conclusions from Dr Neel Desai. Multimodal testing. PERIoxygenation. Single shot LA infiltration? #OBAnes #OAA23ASM Image

Prof Donald Peebles on Embedding Maternal Medicine Networks at #OAA23ASM. Knowing who to call is half the solution to any problem? (Touched on by @elsmere_g during #OBAnes session at #Anaesthesia2023) Image
Direct maternal mortality rate per 100,000 maternities had been decreasing over the last 2 decades, but should a remarkable upswing since 2018, not all accounted for by #COVID19. @mbrrace outlined a case for change: most parts of UK have MDT, but make up variable most without… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
The Maternal Medicine Network (MMN) mandate: ensure timely access to specialist advice and care at all stages of pregnancy. Development of Maternal Medicine specialist centres as regional hub & spoke model = urgent national priority (@DOckendenLtd report)

Dr Katy Sheehan and @ArcBroom present the pick of the posters at #OAA23ASM. 4 criteria for selection of #OBAnes abstracts. ImageImage

Barriers to care. Ethnicity, Language and Socioeconomic deprivation. @mbrrace, @TheLancet, and most recently @Anaes_Journal (@LateralTilt @noolslucas @SQuashie @Marianfknight) set the stage. #OBAnes #OAA23ASM ImageImageImageImage

@NoelleHealy (another 🇮🇪 representative - @ISOA_Ireland well represented!) presents on #OBAnes as a team sport - how do we perform better? at #OAA23ASM. Quite an inspiring quote, then setting the stage with @Fionafionakel et al #humanfactors guidelines in @Anaes_Journal… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImage
Why is teamwork important in OB/ #OBAnes? @mbrrace suggests some lessons to be learned. Prompt action is arguably reliant on good communication, within & between teams. Involving consultant/ specialist care early has been a theme for over a decade. #OAA23ASM ImageImageImage
@DOckendenLtd’ final report highlighted “conflicting agendas and poor teamwork” contribute to adverse maternal & neonatal outcomes? So how do we create good teams?

The @JulieAndrews approach may have the hills alive, but for #OBAnes we may need to start at the very beginning,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage

The history of @NAPs_RCoA projects and key findings for #OBAnes over the years (failed intubation NAP4 1:390, recent US data 1:808 - gotten better or different methodology?) #OAA23ASM ImageImage
Cardiac arrest in pregnancy. CAPS study @BJOGTweets (I see @Marianfknight?) looked at incidence, management & outcomes in UK. #OBAnes have a significant slice of the pie. @SOAPHQ serious complication repository project (incl. @RichSmileyMD @bscottsegal) provide US data: cardiac… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImageImage
