Fittingly starting with the informative #NAP7 analysis of cardiac arrest in #OBAnes from @oaa-anaes.bsky.social’s own @noolslucas.bsky.social @doctimcook.bsky.social et al. Haemorrhage = leading cause, cardiac arrest a complication of spinal, high block may develop with spinal after failed epidural.

High neuraxial block can lead to cardiac arrest in #ObAnaes Dr Owais Shah & Dr Rakesh Basrur are taking us through the mechanism, identification, differential diagnosis and case studies. #NAP7 recommends test dose should not exceed the equivalent of 10mg bupivacaine #YSOA2025

A fantastic opening talk from @noolslucas.bsky.social @oaa-anaes.bsky.social !
The majority of maternal cardiac arrests are anaesthetic-related 😳 do we need more than one anaesthetist on labour ward overnight? #YSOA2025 #NAP7

-Cochrane review
