WFSA - Anaesthesia Tutorial of the Week

 


The OAA and its membership have a long history of supporting obstetric anaesthesia around the world including nations with under-resourced health care systems where maternal mortality and the provision of safe obstetric anaesthesia remain challenging problems.

Anaesthesia Tutorial of the Week (ATOTW) is an educational project supported by the World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists (WFSA) and provides a weekly web-based tutorial on a wide range of anaesthetic subjects.

The primary aim of ATOTW is to support providers of anaesthesia in regions with limited resources and access to educational materials but we are also aware that by producing an up-to-date, evidence based review article, ATOTW has become popular with anaesthetists throughout the world at all levels of practice.

All tutorials can be accessed via the WFSA website (ATOTW) and obstetric anaesthetic tutorials can be linked from the table below.

If you would like to submit a tutorial related to obstetric anaesthesia, please contact the ATOTW obstetric anaesthesia section editors below.
