Obstetric Anesthesia
During rotations in obstetric anesthesia
residents learn about maternal and fetal physiology and
pathophysiology, as well as, the implications of anesthesia in this
group of patients. Residents learn the use of epidural and
intrathecal techniques for providing analgesia for labor and
anesthesia for operative delivery.
Temple University Hospital has a busy
obstetric practice with more than 2, 500 deliveries each year,
many of whom are high risk. This volume and variety allows
residents to become skilled in all facets of obstetric anesthesia
practice. Residents participate in care for obstetric patients
throughout the continuum of education.
