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 #OAA25ASM #OBAnes

#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 #OAA25ASM
