Following a conversation on here this morning, I thought I’d make available a prerecord I did for Euroanaesthesia in December. 'Optimal caesarean delivery neuraxial anaesthesia: how to avoid getting sued?' youtu.be/fGr8VtNIcKo Please share. Testing blocks is important.

🚨 Episode 11 is out!!! A practice changing episode. I would recommend to everyone from novice to consultant. @SusannaStanford gives insights from how critical communication is to optimising human factors! Why do we check? Because we cannot assume! @OAATrainee @OAAinfo

✨New NovPod! Prevention and management of pain during a C-section Eoin and Rosie are joined by @SusannaStanford to talk through how to avoid pitfalls, patient communication, and human factors with neuraxial blockade. 🎧 ow.ly/aVFL50U756j @DoreEoin @OAAinfo

For trainees new to obstetric anaesthesia, this whole NovPod series from @RCoANews and @OAAinfo will be useful. I had fun chatting with @DoreEoin and @RosannaEGrimes We covered a lot of ground; it’s everything I’d love trainees to know!

Another busy few days at SONAR HQ with more sites joining our collaboration. Get in touch if your centre isn't marked to join our study looking at pain during caesarean delivery under neuraxial anaesthesia.

And yet, over & over again, there’s a failure to acknowledge/accept that the problem isn’t whether we micromanage a labour epidural or replace with CSE or simply give a GA - it is that we do NOT listen to the one who matters most, take them seriously & treat appropriately #OBAnes

The number of women responding with ‘This happened to me’. So many lives lived with the impact of trauma. After over a decade trying to raise awareness of pain during c sections, this simply breaks my heart. I know care has improved in many places, but there’s a long way to go.

I continue to use this brilliant real life heartfelt resource @SusannaStanford @sarahjseddon when discussing managing adverse events @TeesUniSHLS ! Using it on Wednesday when discussing patient safety and caring for those who may be involved in an incident 🙏

We do trainees a real disservice by not preparing them for the inevitability of being involved in adverse events. A couple years ago @sarahjseddon and I made this film to raise awareness about the need to be prepared for things going wrong: bit.ly/ManagingAdvers…

What impact does being involved in a patient safety issue have on an anaesthetic trainee? Do you have any lived experience in this area? @HelenEHigham buff.ly/40IYmJ4

Brilliant to see how many centres have already signed up to take part in this study. All UK obstetric units performing caesarean deliveries are eligible to join.

The map is filling up... if your centre isn't there yet, get in touch!

1/4th of U.K. obstetric units have signed up in the first few days!!! Can we get to 156?! Funded and NIHR adopted ✅ Important to patients ✅ Important to clinicians ✅ Eligible for NIHR associate PI? ✅ Get in touch @OAAinfo @OAATrainee @uclh @Jamesocarroll


Well said @OBsleepmerchant The tone tends to be, ‘It never happens when it’s me…’ I don’t seem to see threads discussing how people work to make sure they’re listening to their patients and watching for the poor block.

Thank you Susanna, we will be recruiting sites across the U.K! Do get in touch!

Important new study in UK, looking at neuraxial anaesthesia for caesarean sections. This study will include much needed patient reported outcome measures, including pain and sequalae at 6 weeks postpartum. Message @ObsQor for more info…

Sadly the view that the birth was successful if you have a healthy baby, and that any trauma should be dismissed, is precisely what needs to be addressed. (HT: @HofkampMichael) x.com/msuksbe/status…

When I was a medical student, I saw multiple women having c sections with epidurals that had worn off, screaming bc they could feel everything.
