Description

Interdisciplinary cooperation and understanding is of the utmost importance on labor & delivery. This course will simplify the evidence-based practices that surround hotly debated topics on L&D, from the perspective of your anesthesia team. We will explore the evidence around fluid pre-loading for neuraxial procedures, post-neuraxial fetal resuscitation, teach you how to assess breakthrough labor pain, as well as assess a postpartum headache.
