@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_Journaltwitter.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
How do you create a high performance team environment? Define your “why”. 5 R’s applicable to #OBAnes too. “Buy in” - the 🐘 in the change room and operating room? #OAA23ASM ImageImage
“The disease of ME” really struck a chord with the audience at #OAA23ASM. Good teams become great when it becomes WE. There’s no I in team… although sometimes hidden in the A hole. Are you contributing or contaminating your team.

Who packs your #_OBAnes parachute? At first… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
Team performance is as important away from the lights as in front of them. Practice play should be as important as the important game. As per @Airwayman1 at #OAA3dc2022, you don’t rise to expectations, you sink to most basic competence level. Experts are ALWAYS made, not born.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImageImage
High fidelity #OBAnes emergency simulation improves competence. Teamwork in simulation resulted in improved knowledge, skills, communication and team performance. How? Nail the basics. Protect your standards/ values and hold people accountable (this will create tension but it’s… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
Team conflict triggers fight/ flight response, maladaptive in high-pressure scenarios. Need FUNCTIONAL CONFLICT. @AmyCEdmondson’s psychological safety (see her “Teaming” lecture from #SOAPAM2023, on my timeline) - common misconceptions, not about being nice (necessarily) & you… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImageImage
How do you deal with failure? To err is human, what did we learn? Get as many perspectives as possible. We need a growth mindset! Growth mindset acquired through effort and practice, learning from setbacks. Appropriate Michael Jordan quote. #OBAnes #OAA23ASM ImageImageImage
What’s your team’s why? Secret of quality is love. #OBAnes why: #patientsafety and satisfaction. Inspiring talk by @NoelleHealy at #OAA23ASM ImageImageImage

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

@Rose_Kearsley (@RotundaHospital - my fellowship alma mater) speaks on #OBAnes in the 4th trimester at #OAA23ASM. ImageImage
At the outset, @Rose_Kearsley addresses the definition of trimester (3 months, not only “a third of”). It’s not a novel concept - in lay, academic and anesthesia literature - which makes sense when one thinks of how many pregnancy-associated disease extend beyond delivery (not… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImageImage
#OBAnes workload. 33.3% time on procedures. NB average workload does NOT reflect ebbs & flows, more so surges of activity. @NAPs_RCoA NAP7 data: majority of labour analgesia 1800-0800; #OBAnes accounts for majority of single speciality #AnyAnes work 1800-0800; increasing obesity… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImageImage
