  1. “Dr Rachel Kearns and her team in Glasgow reported a study in the British Medical Journal of over half a million women in labour in Scotland, looking at how epidurals affected their likelihood of severe, life-threatening complications such as stroke, heart attack, eclampsia or major haemorrhage. They found that having an #epidural reduced the likelihood of these severe complications by 35%, with a much bigger benefit for those that were deemed high risk, or labouring prematurely.”

  2. Accidental dural puncture

    • Inserting an intrathecal catheter does not decrease the incidence of PDPH but does decrease the need for #epidural blood patch.

    • There is no benefit in leaving the catheter in for 24 h postpartum.

    • In patients with an intrathecal catheter, injection of intrathecal saline decreases the incidence of #PDPH and the need for epidural blood patch.

    "At least five people in #Texas have been hospitalized with suspected #fungal infections in their brains and spinal cords that developed after traveling to #Mexico for cosmetic surgeries involving #epidural #anesthesia, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [#CDC] warned this week."

  13. Had a good day in the world of #obstetricAnaesthesia I was lucky enough to help 2 of colleagues bring their babies into the world. One chose an elective section the other an epidural. Both had the birth experience they wanted. Such a privilege to be part of their story. It doesn’t matter how you deliver as long as you & your baby are both safe and well. #obstetricAnaesthesia #Epidural #Spinal #ElectiveSection #ChristmasBabies #lucky #FriendsAndColleagues
