‪Obstetric care doesn’t start in the operating theatre—neither should anesthesiologists.‬ ‪#OBAnes must be embedded in every layer of the MDT - delivering safer, more coordinated care‬ ‪Let’s build systems where anesthesia isn’t an add-on—but a core component‬ ‪#OAA25ASM‬

A substantial portion of #OBAnes services is provided in non-academic hospitals, which often lack residency programs. This distribution underscores the importance of supporting anaesthetists in these settings to ensure consistent care quality #OAA25ASM #OBAnes

#OBAnes accounted for 11% of all anesthetic activity over a 24-hour period. Notably, during evenings (6 pm–11:59 pm) and nights (12 am–7:59 am), #OBAnes represented 31% and 55% of anesthetic activity, respectively Night work is becoming more complex #OAA25ASM

Obstetric anesthesia has come a long way—from ether and chloroform in the 1800s to modern epidurals & CSE... But what’s next? We’re entering an era where safety and patient experience will be more personalized, data-driven, and equitable than ever before #OAA25ASM #OBAnes

Did I hear them correctly?? Parturient with spinal cord stimulator: ❌ labour epidural analgesia ✅ EBP for PDPH Sounds like an area in need of clear standards of practice and updates to current literature #OAA25ASM #OBAnes
