Why bother? CO2 has natural cycles… and they continue to, just at a higher baseline. World temperatures are rising. #CASAM2025

#OBAnes as subspecialty: SIA since 2021 (≈ Periop Med), offer post-CCT fellowships (well subscribed), own specialist society ( @oaa-anaes.bsky.social = largest spec society, trusted source of patient information {Labourpains}, official journal { @ijoajournal.bsky.social}) - ideally poised? #OAA25ASM

Dr Fiona Donald begins rounding off the #OAA25ASM Bruce Scott lecture with a look towards the future. AI will come, it isn’t here already: need to embrace opportunities to teach it well so it unlearns human biases embedded in algorithms for #OBAnes - perhaps AI = parity/ equity?

The environmental impact of the #OBAnes spinal gowns in Bristol alone - the equivalent of >1.5k trips to airport! Using @lateraltilt.bsky.social historic data, around 1000round trip flights to Belfast from LHR. #OAA25ASM

A solid summary on the risk of CSF infection with NO sterile gown at #OBAnes spinal. Is the possibility of increased risk acceptable? (We don’t put spinals in below 50, hematology do) And, if our central ethos is improved care - avoiding preventable harm- why is it? #OAA25ASM

Here I think @LateralTilt makes a good point - role modelling/social influence - I only stopped gowning once I joined a unit in 🇨🇦. No one else was doing it, except for COVID. I wonder how much the pandemic shapes this debate? We all value asepsis or none do? #OAA25ASM #OBAnes

Other societies: @ASALifeline @ASRA_Society don’t require gowning for spinal OR epidural. @CASUpdate quote interesting - not a statement, but @CASUpdate study, no mention of gowns for epidurals. @Assoc_Anaes appears ambivalent (gowns are standard precautions?) #OAA25ASM #OBAnes
