Obstetric Anesthesia Views
The MUSC Obstetric Service is an active tertiary care unit performing approximately 2,000 deliveries annually. Anesthesiologists in the Division of Obstetric Anesthesia offer expertise in obstetric anesthesia and are involved in the management of high-risk pregnancies and are available for pre-delivery consultation. Between 20 and 30 percent of the patient population is high risk. Staff anesthesiologists are available in the hospital 24 hours a day to provide care for obstetric patients. All staff anesthesiologists are extensively experienced in OB anesthesia. We provide a full range of anesthetic services to cover the approximately 2,200 deliveries a year we see on the labor and delivery suite.
Research ProgramThere is on-going collaborative research work with our MFM Division. In addition, there is on-going clinical research by our faculty. Residents are encouraged to be involved with on-going research. We have had resident abstracts related to OB anesthesia presented at the past two annual meetings of the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP) and the IARS.
