Listen "NovPod - Season 2, Episode 8: Pain management in labour"
Episode Synopsis
We are joined by the fantastic Dr Damien Hughes - an anaesthetic consultant and OAA council member - to discuss how we manage pain on the labour ward. We discuss the physiology of pain in labour and the management options we are able to deliver as anaesthetists, as well as how we can positively impact maternal health outcomes and our patients' birth experience.
