Episode 258: Pro-con debate: Whether to use an existing labor epidural for C-section with Drs. Hofkamp and Sharpe

Author: Jed Wolpaw July 4, 2023 Duration: 48:31

In this 258th episode I welcome Dr Emily Sharpe and Dr. Mike Hofkamp back to the show to have a pro-con debate about what to do when a woman in labor with an epidural in place has to go unexpectedly for c-section. Dr. Hofkamp argues for removing the epidural and doing a second neuraxial technique while Dr. Sharpe argues for using the existing epidural.

Hosted by Dr. Jed Wolpaw, the Anesthesia and Critical Care Reviews and Commentary (ACCRAC) Podcast digs into the nuanced and rapidly evolving world of perioperative and intensive care medicine. This isn't a series of dry lectures; instead, it functions as a dynamic forum for deep dives into recent research, thoughtful debates on clinical controversies, and practical commentary from the front lines. Each episode is built to engage practicing anesthesiologists, critical care specialists, and trainees who are looking to move beyond the headlines of a journal article and into the substantive discussions that define modern practice. You'll hear thorough reviews of pivotal studies, balanced arguments on opposing approaches to complex patient care, and insights that bridge the gap between published evidence and daily clinical decision-making. The conversations in this podcast are candid and detailed, reflecting the real-world complexities faced in operating rooms and ICUs. By focusing on review, debate, and expert analysis, the ACCRAC podcast serves as an intellectual supplement for medical professionals dedicated to refining their craft and understanding the 'why' behind their protocols. It's a resource for those who appreciate that mastery in these high-stakes fields requires continuous questioning and collaborative exploration.
