Most influential obstetric anesthesia publications (1998-2017) identified by previous #Ostheimer lecturers using Delphi methodology. Key themes: #Interventions, #Education, #Anesthesia, #Analgesia, #MaternalMortality, #Complications @SOAPHQ @BrighamOBAnes journals.lww.com/anesthesia-ana…

In view of today’s paper, should desflurane be removed from anaesthetic machines?

🔴A substantial number of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 could be admitted to operating rooms after having a falsely negative test: universal respirator masking is preferable to standard precautions with surgical masks. journals.lww.com/anesthesia-ana…

.@RCoANews & @OAAinfo agree that a recent retrospective study into the association between epidural analgesia during labour & risk of autism does not provide credible scientific evidence that labour epidurals for pain relief cause autism bit.ly/studyepidural

We are pleased to announce that IntubateCOVID is now open to the USA! More countries to follow! In the UK, we have registered 393 intubations in the last week & 6.6% of respondents developed COVID-19. Register your intubations and COVID-19 outcomes here: intubatecovid.org

Are you a healthcare professional who may need to care for a critically ill #obstetric patient or #neonatal emergency? These resources will be a valuable refresh to you in their emergency management: learn.nes.nhs.scot/28189/coronavi… #coronavirus #COVID19 #SMMDP

Please find a report on the first reported 775 patients critically ill with #COVID19 bit.ly/2R5X8mP

To clarify, these respondents are people who were either 1) the intubator/laryngoscopist or 2) an assistant in the room. So 6.6% (so far) of the people in the "hot room" have now had symptoms or been diagnosed as #COVID19 positive by lab test.

Sharing our Brigham OB anesthesia COVID pathways- we are hoping this can be of use to our colleagues. Thanks to @MPodovei, @FarberMichaela, and our wonderful residents Cathleen McKeating and Linda Li for their hard work in creating this.

As 🩺 physicians, many of you will be deployed to provide critical care, despite not having specific training. @UofTanesthesia @BrianCuthberts8 has created a tool to brush up on topics you learned at some point in your training! 👉🏽 quickicutraining.com #COVID19 #medtwitter

Please also visit ACOG website for guidance. OBs and Anesthesiologists all need to coordinate to provide continued care. @acog #OBanes

@1cooljeep @Ron_George @LimGrapes @lsjanik Risks vs benefits?!! Are you most worried about 1️⃣ untreated #PDPH resulting in serious neurological complications? 2️⃣ neurological complications associated with #EBP in #COVID19? 3️⃣ viral load in #EBP? 4️⃣ exposure for staff? 🤔I would say it’s a go for #EBP but ?!!
