‪Obstetric care doesn’t start in the operating theatre—neither should anesthesiologists.‬

‪#OBAnes must be embedded in every layer of the MDT - delivering safer, more coordinated care‬

‪Let’s build systems where anesthesia isn’t an add-on—but a core component‬

#OBAnes accounted for 11% of all anesthetic activity over a 24-hour period. Notably, during evenings (6 pm–11:59 pm) and nights (12 am–7:59 am), #OBAnes represented 31% and 55% of anesthetic activity, respectively

Night work is becoming more complex

Obstetric anesthesia has come a long way—from ether and chloroform in the 1800s to modern epidurals & CSE... But what’s next?

We’re entering an era where safety and patient experience will be more personalized, data-driven, and equitable than ever before
