Hi Everyone,
Join Graeme and I as we discuss two articles chosen from last months edition of IJOA (International Journal of Obstetric Anesthesia). In the first we discuss an article exploring whether the use of intermittent calf compression can reduce hypotension and vasopressor use in women undergoing caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia. The second article looks at the utility of preoperative electrical stimulation of acupressure points prior to caesarean section reduces postoperative pain and improves the quality of maternal recovery. There’s a sprinkling of our usual dad jokes at the end.
For regular listeners to the show join us again later this month when we hopefully will have a couple of episodes dedicated to the management of placenta accreta spectrum and an interview with the founders of the placenta accreta service setup 7 years ago here at KEMH – see you then!
