NovPod - Season 2, Episode 8: Pain management in labour

We are joined by the fantastic Dr Damien Hughes - an anaesthetic consultant and OAA council member - to discuss how we manage pain on the labour ward. We discuss the physiology of pain in labour and the management options we are able to deliver as anaesthetists, as well as how we can positively impact maternal health outcomes and our patients' birth experience.  References  Anaesthesia (e-LA) -> Core Training - Clinical -> e-LA Module 04a - Obstetrics -> 04 Regional analgesia & anaesthesia Anaesthesia (e-LA) -> Core Training - Clinical -> e-LA Module 04a - Obstetrics -> 03 Labour analgesia BJA education - Epidural analgesia in labour BJA education - Non-regional analgesia for labour Epidural troubleshooting – East Anglia guide Prevention and management of intra-operative pain during caesarean section OAA labour pains
