@LimGrapes lays out the objectives of her talk and highlights the model for improvement applicable to #AnyAnes. Great quote! #OBAnes#OAA23ASM
What is ERAC? Well, let’s start at the very beginning (seems like a good place to start): enhanced recovery is about quicker recovery and improving outcomes. Most of all it is an APPROACH! #OBAnes#OAA23ASM
Is enhanced recovery for cesarean different? It is still an approach, with similar ERAS components #OBAnes#OAA23ASM
However, there are some modifications to the ERAS components. It’s all in the name. #OBAnes#OAA23ASM
Prenatal: limit NPO, Education/ engagement, discharge planning. Intraoperative:preventing hypotension, golden hour, medication optimization. Postpartum: early oral/ mobilization, support breastfeeding, treat anemia. #OBAnes#OAA23ASM
What is the evidence? The protocol. GI outcomes? Satisfaction achieved - maybe? #OBAnes#OAA23ASM
Discharge may not be parturient but passenger related. ERAC improves postoperative LoS, patient satisfaction, breastfeeding rates (maybe a few others). Emphasis placed on 4 interventions, QI initiative implementations successfully met. #OBAnes#OAA23ASM
Pain and opioid outcomes good (filled scripts is tricky - that may happen without the opioids being taken?) Similarly nutrition and ambulation. #OBAnes#OAA23ASM
Research opportunities for ERAC. How to get clinician “buy in”? Many ERAS protocols have not yet been implemented for cesarean delivery. #OBAnes#OAA23ASM
Negative outcomes: best process/ approach? LoS requires further work as not independently related to perioperative #OBAnes or surgery factors. What are CORE outcomes for ERAC? #OAA23ASM
ERAC editorial in @IARS_Journals encourages further studies to identify interventions to improve outcomes, discern best treatment strategies based on real world data, specific populations while engaging different stakeholders. #OBAnes#OAA23ASM
A Benjamin Franklin quote to segway to @LimGrapes’ conclusions - ask her a question (on Twitter if you’re brave)? #OBAnes#OAA23ASM
Physiological changes in pregnancy. Normal LFT/ laboratory changes. #OBAnes#OAA23ASM
Causes of liver derangement in pregnancy: flare of pre-existing liver disease (known or unknown). Incidence of pregnancy in people with chronic liver disease at King’s College Hospital. Historically, cirrhotic patients have been infertile d/t anovulation. Population based data… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Definition of acute SMM: severe, life threatening event during pregnancy & within 6 weeks of delivery. @NPEU_UKOSS provides UK wide high quality obstetric surveillance. Deaths, while uncommon, investigated in depth.
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)
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…
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)
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
@DOckendenLtd’ final report highlighted “conflicting agendas and poor teamwork” contribute to adverse maternal & neonatal outcomes? So how do we create good teams?
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
