Pure numbers of epidurals & cesareans are deceptive, there are context issues as well. Do #OBAnes teach, how sick are patients? #OBAnes workforce survey: size of hospital changes how we staff. We are more than just needle jockeys. #SOAPAM2023
So #OBAnes includes more than technical skills. What are our expectations? #SOAPAM2023
And what of other members of the #OBAnes team including the parturient themselves? #SOAPAM2023
TOLAC should probably be provided only at certain centres (or disclosure/ informed consent to patient). Management of intrapartum FHR is essential (30minutes here too) #OBAnes#SOAPAM2023
Nursing support is mission critical, they have a role to play in #OBAnes. What are employers concerned about? Are there regulatory concerns? #SOAPAM2023
What IS optimal staffing? Does depend on who you ask. Common errors - average case load is a bad idea in #OBAnes. Workload is non-linear. #SOAPAM2023
Economics of L&D. #OBAnes services contracting. Which service/ procedure is more expensive? Uncovered services have an important impact. #SOAPAM2023
Got staff? National anesthesia provider staffing - increased demand. But L&D/ #OBAnes staffing differs in several respects. #SOAPAM2023
We need to expand pool of providers, not just for work life balance. Total pools. Turnover is high. #AnyAnes staffing is supply vs demand. #OBAnes#SOAPAM2023

Pregnancy-associated mortality ≈ maternal mortality. #OBAnes 0.2% - doing well (wonder what the denominator is?), so Elmo could ask why are we worried? #SOAPAM2023
@matmedicine presents the first NOVEL content session of #SOAPAM2023 virtual #OBAnes highlights: Trauma in Pregnancy for the Non-Obstetric Provider. Objectives. Goals. All live from Italy - somewhat jealous @matmedicine
Physiological changes during pregnancy (1): Cardiac/ hemodynamic changes. Haematological changes. Are these protective? #OBAnes#SOAPAM2023
Physiological changes during pregnancy (2): Respiratory effects - displacement of diaphragm is key? ABG changes important - lactate the same in pregnant and non-pregnant @matmedicine? #OBAnes#SOAPAM2023
@JenDominguezMD kicks off first session of #SOAPAM2023 virtual #OBAnes highlights Day 2 with the best case reports. Learning objectives. #SoMe embargo on content (@AnaSjaus ahem). Divided into 4 topics.
Distinguished judges!
Cardiac: 2 cases of PHTN in #OBAnes - interesting cases, here are the allowed #SoMe slides.
Right, let’s get to it. The #OBAnes airway - shifting the paradigm; a @dasairway & @OAAinfo masterclass. Two Profs in the corner… this should be interesting. @noolslucas kicks off the webinar.
What is a difficult airway? @ASALifeline definition: a clinical situation, conventionally trained anesthesiologist, difficult face mask ventilation/ intubation/ both.
@rr_metabolicmed presents the Bruce Scott Lecture 2023 at #OAA23ASM: Obesity & diabetes in pregnancy - legacy for the child. #OBAnes
Study of 1.3 million pregnant women reveals global obesity crisis: 75% pregnant women fail to achieve healthy weight gain during pregnancy, leading to preventable adverse health consequences for both the women and their babies. Obesity has strong evidence for increased risk of… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Maternal obesity and offspring cardiovascular disease: maternal obesity increases offspring cardiovascular death (Hazard ratio [all cause mortality] = 1.35). At current UK maternal obesity rates, this equates to extra 650 deaths before age 50 each year. The Hazard ratio for type… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
