Spotlight Series 001-2023 College of Anaesthesiologists Blog

The Patient Safety Together Spotlight Series highlights different patient safety initiatives, examples of local shared learning or patient safety content that may impact the wider healthcare audience in Ireland.

In this first instalment we shine a spotlight on a recent blog post by the College of Anaesthesiologists in Ireland (CAI). The blog written by Dr Colleen Hartnett (Fellow in High Risk Obstetric Anaesthesia, and Quality & Patient Safety) and Dr Terry Tan (Consultant Anaesthesiologist) from the Coombe Hospital is titled Perils and Pitfalls of Obstetric Neuraxial Anaesthesia.

Neuraxial anaesthesia and analgesia techniques include spinal, epidural, and combined spinal-epidural.
