Considerations for the obstetric patient; ERAS for C-section | ASA 2018

Obstetrics might seem the natural place for Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS). Which components of Enhanced Recovery apply the most to a procedure such as a Caesarian section (C-section)?   Differences between obstetrics in the UK and the US are discussed. The addictive qualities of oxycodone are discussed in detail. This leads to a discussion about what tablets patients should be leaving the hospital with.   Presented by Monty Mythen and Desiree Chappell with their guest Brendan Carvalho, Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at Stanford University Medical Center.
