CAESARIAN SECTION WORKSHOP
Date: 27 November 2019
Venue: O&G Seminar Room, H Floor, Old Main Building, Groote Schuur Hospital
Time: 13h30-17h00
Convenors:
Professor S. Fawcus -Emeritus Professor and Senior Scholar department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University Cape Town
Dr Anne Horak - Senior Specialist at Mowbray Maternity Hospital
Faculty:
Course outline:
This half day workshop will focus on "What doctors should do when the patient bleeds at caesarean section". The topic is very relevant, given increasing caesarean section (CS) rates globally and in South Africa, and increasing morbidity from CS associated haemorrhage in both high and low resource settings. In addition, the SA confidential enquiry into maternal deaths has identified that bleeding associated with CS accounts for one third of haemorrhage maternal deaths both in the public and private sectors.
The workshop will have experts from Obstetrics, Gynaecology, Anaesthetics and Radiology presenting on practical aspects of management including new developments in medical management and conservative surgical measures, as well as life-saving hysterectomy and interventional radiology
The convenor has audited this topic extensively in South Africa and the contributors all have expertise in their field, including the new Head of Global surgery at UCT, Prof Salome Maswime, and two international speakers, Professor Phil Steer (Emeritus Professor from Imperial College, London) who will provide useful information on managing morbidly adherent placenta, and Prof Steve Lindow with experience in uterine artery embolization.
At the end of the workshop, the participants will have the opportunity to practice practical skills on models with the facilitators.
The programme is outlined below, subject to minor alterations.
