Welcome to RHW Anaesthesia, a Free Open Access Meducation (FOAM) resource openly available for anaesthetists and other medical practitioners with an interest in obstetric and general clinical anaesthesia.

At RHW Anaesthesia, we focus on case reviews of complex, high risk obstetric anaesthesia encounters. All cases are hypothetical and inspired from the real experiences of consultant anaesthetists with subspecialty expertise in obstetric anaesthesia.

For the benefit of ANZCA Final Exam candidates, the cases are presented in an interactive Viva Voce format, suitable for practising solo or with a partner. The content is within the scope of the ANZCA fellowship training curriculum.

Happy exploring and learning!
