I’m a GPA at Gympie Hospital( for the past 15 years) where we have about 7 GPA and one visiting Consultant anaesthetist. I enjoyed your podcast very much and will tune in more frequently. I was interested in the link to your stats on risk when you discussed a GA LSCS. I have done many of these over the years but always as a CAT 1 . I think the issue of having an elective GA LSCS has been asked but we have had the luxury of sending them an hour and a half south to a tertiary hospital. Your discussion made me contemplate that we should do the next one here. It sometimes seems ludicrous that our Consultant anaesthetist colleagues instruct us to refer them on when the most common time we need to do them is an emergency when your on your own at 2 am for a Cat 1 Caesar. It would be much better to perform one during the day with backup and a well thought out plan. Any links or information that might help justify such a move would be greatly appreciated.
All the Best
