| Obstetric Anesthesia | |||||||||
| Approximately 4,000 deliveries per year are performed at Memorial Hermann Hospital. 80-85% of these patients receive a form of regional anesthesia, including spinal or epidural. Residents are taught forms of regional anesthesia for OB starting in their second year.Two residents per day cover the OB floor with an attending; each night there is one resident and one attending taking call on the OB floor.Routine labor patients are managed along with high risk maternal-fetal patients. This would include systemic diseases such as cardiac disease, lupus, sickle cell, chronic pain and diseases of pregnancy such as preclampsia and fetal abnormalities.The fourth year medical students rotate one week of their anesthesia month in OB anesthesia where they learn and perform regional anesthesia techniques.For additional information, please contact Moeen Panni, M.D., Ph.D. | |||||||||
