This collection features interviews with anesthesiologists and other experts in which we discuss topics ranging from basic anesthesia to subspecialty-related topics.
In this episode, Dr. Rachel Kearns discussed the findings from her study -Epidural analgesia during labour and severe maternal morbidity: population-based study. This study solidifies that anesthesiologists bring more to the table than “just” labor pain management.
In this episode, Dr. Vishal Uppal and Allana Munro discussed with us the findings from their study -The Incidence and Predictors of Failed Spinal Anesthesia After Intrathecal Injection of Local Anesthetic for Cesarean Delivery: A Single-Center, 9-Year Retrospective Review. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37014966/
In this episode, Dr. Allison Mootz, an obstetric anesthesiology fellow at Brigham and Women, discusses her thought-provoking article titled- The Accuracy of ChatGPT-Generated Responses in Answering Commonly Asked Patient Questions About Labor Epidurals: A Survey-Based Study. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38180897/
Comparing Physician and Artificial Intelligence Chatbot Responses to Patient Questions Posted to a Public Social Media Forum https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37115527/
In this episode, Dr. Ron George provides a tour de force of our past and present labor analgesia management. We discuss his recent publication, Modern Labor Epidural Analgesia: Implications for Labor Outcomes and Maternal-Fetal Health. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37164496/

In this episode, Dr. David Bishop, a Specialist Anesthesiologist and Head of the Clinical Unit of Anaesthesia at Edendale Hospital in Pietermaritzburg talks about a vital topic and his recent publication, Tranexamic acid at cesarean delivery: drug-error deaths.
Tranexamic acid at cesarean delivery: drug-error deaths
Effect of early tranexamic acid administration on mortality, hysterectomy, and other morbidities in women with post-partum haemorrhage (WOMAN): an international, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
In this episode, Dr. Thomas Klumpner, whose research interests involve using technology to detect childbirth complications before they become life-threatening, discusses with us his research titled: Use of a Novel Electronic Maternal Surveillance System and the Maternal Early Warning Criteria to Detect Severe Postpartum Hemorrhage
Use of a Novel Electronic Maternal Surveillance System and the Maternal Early Warning Criteria to Detect Severe Postpartum Hemorrhage https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32022745/
In this episode, Dr. Vishal Uppal, whose primary research interests are improving the safety and efficacy of regional anesthesia techniques in high-risk patient populations, discussed his article Consensus Practice Guidelines on Postdural Puncture Headache From a Multisociety, International Working Group: A Summary Report.
In this episode, Dr. Tracey Vogel, an obstetric anesthesiologist who is very well-versed in a topic we should all know about, discusses trauma-informed care. What is trauma-informed care, and how can we become a trauma-informed care unit? These and many more questions are addressed during this Podcast. “A service that is not trauma-informed is trauma denied.”
In this episode, Dr. Mark Rollins and Dr. Chatterjee, two leading experts in anesthesia for maternal-fetal intervention, share their knowledge with us. Specifically, we discussed fetal benefits and preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative management for this delicate procedure in which two patients are undergoing surgical intervention under our care. Should we provide analgesia directly or indirectly to the fetus? How can we achieve the tenet goal of excellent uterine relaxation without compromising placental perfusion? Is the use of Sugammadex warranted for midgestation fetal interventions? These and much more were discussed during this Podcast.
In this episode, Dr. B Amnon Berger shared the results of his study – Epidural catheter replacement rates with dural puncture epidural labor analgesia compared with epidural analgesia without dural puncture: a retrospective cohort study. Besides, we discussed the benefits of a dural puncture epidural technique and how it differs from the combined spinal-epidural technique.
