In the context of the pain and exhaustion of labour, inadequate and untimely information provision and dialogue between women and their anaesthetists can undermine the implementation of lawful consent.

Intrathecal morphine at 100 µg versus 150 µg for post-cesarean delivery analgesia: a retrospective cohort study (2020–2022):

Morphine 100 µg provided similar analgesia to 150 µg within 24 hours and resulted in fewer opioid-related side effects

Cervical cerclage placement—what’s the best approach?
✅ Spinal anaesthesia = safer, better pain control
✅ General anaesthesia = faster discharge, but airway risks

A quick recap of lecture 1 (How epidurals DO work) - oddly necessary and helpful considering I am still busy with the thread for it 😉) Dorsal & lateral tracts NB. Epidural space increases relative to decreasing volumes of contents. Epidural anatomy. Contents matter. #OAA3dc24 #3DC24 #OBAnes

[Simon Ash @OBsleepmerchant]

Recap continues. Fat reservoir, arachnoid is 90% impervious, bidirectional flow, CSF poorly mixed, LA stays put.

Where is the catheter though? Does it matter? Large volume forgives most sins? Asymmetry is catheter, not space.

Labour epidurals + postpartum depression - is there an association?

All the #pregnant people of X will be pleased to hear that there there was NO significant difference in the incidence of depression between epidural & non-epidural patient groups!
