💉 UTEROTONICS IN ANAESTHESIA — Know the drug before you give it!

Postpartum haemorrhage can escalate quickly, and choosing the right uterotonic matters.

This carousel is a quick clinical revision of the uterotonics every anaesthesia trainee should know:

💜 Oxytocin — first-line, but avoid rapid IV boluses
❤️ Ergometrine — think HYPERTENSION / PRE-ECLAMPSIA 🚫
💚 Carboprost — think ASTHMA 🚫
💊 Misoprostol — easy to administer; remember fever & shivering
💙 Carbetocin — the long-acting oxytocin analogue
💉 Syntometrine — oxytocin + ergometrine, so always check the BP

📌 Two associations worth memorising:

ERGOMETRINE → HYPERTENSION 🚫
CARBOPROST → ASTHMA 🚫

Save this carousel for your next obstetric theatre shift and share it with an anaesthesia trainee who might find it useful.

💨 APL Valve — small k**b, big role in patient safety!

The Adjustable Pressure Limiting (APL) valve is something we use almost every day in anaesthesia, but understanding what actually happens when you open or close it is essential—especially when you’re starting out in theatre.

In this post, we break down:
🔹 What the APL valve actually does
🔹 APL open vs closed
🔹 Its role during spontaneous and manual ventilation
🔹 How it affects the reservoir bag and circuit pressure
🔹 A simple approach to troubleshooting
🔹 The potentially dangerous consequences of leaving it closed

💡 Remember:
OPEN → Gas escapes
CLOSE → Pressure builds
SQUEEZE → You generate the pressure

📌 Save this post for your next theatre day and share it with someone starting their anaesthesia journey.
