The difference an epidural can make. Professor Rachel Kearns shares findings of her study which analysed the childbirth and labour experiences of over half a million mothers in Scotland, comparing those who had an epidural with those who didn't. Rachel Harrison (Kearns) #Anaesthesia2024

The number 1 reason to request an epidural is ‘it’s your choice’ - your body, your birth, your choice for analgesia while birthing. But it is also a great choice for safety 👇 This excellent study is worth a read The BMJ

Bravo to everyone working on the critical shortage of IV fluids in Australia. Once we get through this acute problem we need to seriously ask ourselves some tough questions. Let's start with - why on earth do we buy fluid 14,000 km away from Norway?
