Welcome to this podcast, the tenth in our series of obstetric anaesthesia basics. Join us for this the second part of a conversation where we discuss all things relating to neuraxial anaesthesia for Caesarean section. Due to it’s length we have split this discussion into two parts – who would have thought we could talk for so long about this! (I thought it would only be one episode and was surprised what we teased out).

Thanks Shilpa, Matt & Roger!
