“…4 -has led to educational, clinical, and research initiatives to improving maternal outcomes. 5 However, efforts to decrease maternal death and severe morbidity have been limited, and the only validated strategy that has emerged to systematically improve maternal outcomes is routine use of postcesarean thromboembolism prophylaxis. 6,7 Many cases of major maternal morbidity and mortality may be preventable, [7][8][9] and obstetric early warning systems that alert care providers of abnormal physiologic parameters that may precede critical illness have been advocated, 7 as they may represent a means of improving clinical outcomes.…”

“…Our colleagues in maternal-fetal medicine last year asked that we place the M back in maternal-fetal medicine. 6 They suggested that their specialty training recently has focused much on the fetus and less on mothers. This year, I am going to extend their request and echo a commentary from 1985, which said almost 30 years ago that we need to place the M back in maternal-child health.…”

Every Woman, Every TimeT his is the year of the woman. That's right. This is the year of the woman.For the first time in the history of the United States, we have agreed that the health of women is a priority; that by investing in this generation we have invested in the next generation; that the basic health care rights of women include well-woman health care, preconception health, and reproductive health; and whether it is a pill, a patch, a ring, an injection, an implantable, an insertable, or a ligation, we can address reproductive health for what it represents, an investment in our future. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) acknowledges that, for us as obstetricians and gynecologists to care for women, we must focus on health and wellness. It provides for preventive health care as a covered benefit. The ACA accomplishes these goals in many ways, but most importantly by requiring most health plans to cover ACOG-recommended preventive services without cost sharing. 1

“…Although maternal morbidity has declined globally, there has been an increase in maternal morbidity and mortality in the United States over the last 20 years [17]. Data from the United States Nationwide Inpatient Sample, which included 8.5 million hospital deliveries from 1999 to 2008, revealed a doubling in the incidence of severe maternal postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) over a 10-year period [18].…”

The care of obstetric patients has become challenging due to the changing demographics of the pregnant population. Women with chronic diseases and congenital heart disease live to child-bearing age due to medical and surgical advances. Older and less healthy women become pregnant due to advances in reproductive technologies. Therefore, obstetric anesthesiologists have an increasingly important role in the peripartum period. In this article, we review the role of obstetric anesthesiologists in the antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum periods. The need for multidisciplinary care of high-risk parturients is discussed, including the role of anesthesiologists in the National Maternal Health Initiative to improve maternal morbidity and mortality.
