In the June 2020 BJA Education podcast, Pooja Shah speaks to Dr Carlos Delgado, Dr Laurence Ring and Dr Mary Mushambi about General Anaesthesia in Obstetrics. In this issue, we discuss the OAA/DAS guidelines, how to approach general anaesthesia in the obstetric patient as well as how to mitigate the difficult airway of the obstetric patient. We also discuss features of anaesthesia for major fetal surgeries and EXIT procedures, with special reference to anaesthesia in the Covid-19 patient.
