#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

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

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

Highlighted during #OAA25ASM #OBAnes

Dexamethasone significantly reduced the incidence of spinal hypotension during cesarean

?? Confirmation bias….similarly I haven’t seen any reduction in need to support BP with ondansetron

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
altmetric.com Altmetric @altmetric.com · Dec 3
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.
