CA-2 OBSTETRIC ANESTHESIA ROTATION FAIRVIEW RIVERSIDE Medical Center - Fairview Rotation Site Director: Dr. Susanne Rupert Rotation Duration: 4 weeks Introduction: Building on the knowledge, skills and attitudes gained during initial Obstetric Anesthesia rotation, advanced obstetric anesthesia rotation provides resident with the in-depth knowledge, and the opportunity to attain experience with the anesthetic management of complicated obstetrical patient. Through continuous reading, discussions, lectures, and hands on experience the resident will be expected to gain the knowledge, technical skills, and organizational skills necessary to provide obstetrical anesthesia patient care at the consultant level in a tertiary care center. GOALS: o To train residents who are capable of providing independent high quality anesthesia care based on principles of teamwork and collaboration for obstetric patients; o To train residents who independently apply principles of life-long learning principles in providing high quality care to obstetric patients including preoperative assessment and preparation of patients for neuraxial analgesia, neuraxial or general anesthesia, provision of anesthesia for cesarean section and stat cesarean section, clinical management and teaching of physiologic changes related to pregnancy, and management of high risk pregnancy patients with different co-morbidities. Approximate Training Level Assessment Methods/Tools OBJECTIVES (by ACGME Competency) Patient Care Clinical Skills and Reasoning: o Effective use of clinical skills of interviewing and physical examination to perform a thorough preoperative assessment of obstetric patient (perception to mechanism or complex overt response) o Independently formulates a safe anesthetic management plan for an o Direct Observation o Simulation o Chart- review o Case logs Page 1 of 6

A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO OBSTETRIC ANESTHESIA. 2009. 2. CHESTNUT'S OBSTETRIC ANESTHESIA: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE. 4th edition. 2009. 3. OBSTETRIC ANESTHESIA AND UNCOMMON DISORDERS. 2nd edition. 2008. 4. SHNIDER AND LEVINSON'S ANESTHESIA FOR OBSTETRICS. 4th edition. 2002.

Assessments The resident will receive a summative written evaluation form at the end of the rotation from the Site Director, as well as verbal feedback informally throughout the rotation. The case-logs of the resident will also be evaluated periodically by the clinical competency committee for the number and type of procedures and anesthetic techniques entered to ensure they are obtaining adequate experience.
