In this episode of the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine Podcast, our hosts dive into the profound and often overlooked consequence of global warming: the rising threat of emerging diseases. Join us as we uncover the intricate relationship between climate change and the proliferation of new, potentially deadly illnesses. We’ll explore how shifts in temperature, habitat disruption, and the movement of disease vectors are paving the way for previously unknown health risks, and how we as a society should adapt to these new risks.

We have tremendously increased the safety and efficacy of our Neuraxial blocks. The consequences of our success have resulted in a limited number of general anesthesia cases for trainees during their obstetric anesthesia rotation. In this episode, I discuss with Dr. Delgado, author of the review article The Current Role of General Anesthesia for Cesarean delivery, what can be done to improve our ability to be prepared when general anesthesia (GA) is needed. We discussed various topics ranging from predicting patients at risk for GA, to using a rapid sequence spinal technique to avoid GA, and the need for high-fidelity simulations to maintain our skills when general anesthesia is needed.
