Learning points from the UK Maternal Cardiology Society Meeting today
1. Fetal doses of radiation are much smaller than you think CT Chest 0.3mGy (limit 50mGy)
2. Maternal Cardiac disease affects 1% of pregnancies. It is under recognised & under investigated
3. If radiation based imaging is required for a diagnosis then it is appropriate. Correct diagnosis = correct treatment! Remember to explain why to the mother!
4. Severe Pain - Think Aorta!

Today is an educational day - starting off with a meeting about our new hospital theatre manager system. I’m not so into this…. But I know it’s necessary.
Next I am signing into the UK Maternal Cardiology Society Meeting which I am really looking forward to. It’s an area that I always feel I need to know more about. #MaternalCardiology #ObsAnaesthesia #ObstetricCriticalCare #ObstetricMedicine #Learning #CPD
