چکیده
THE Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology was founded in 1968 to provide a forum for the discussion of problems unique to the peripartum period. The “What’s New in Obstetric Anesthesia” Lecture was established in 1975 at the annual meeting of the society to update members of the relevant literature published in the previous calendar year. In 1995, this lecture was renamed the “Gerard Ostheimer What’s New in Obstetric Anesthesia Lecture” after the death of Gerard W. Ostheimer, M.D., an influential member of the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology and former Professor of Anesthesiology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts. Each year, the lecturer reviews articles from obstetric anesthesia, obstetrics, and neonatology that may be important to practicing obstetric anesthesiologists. For 2005, 1,159 articles were selected and included in the 38th Annual Meeting syllabus. This review focuses on three areas of interest to obstetric anesthesiologists: preeclampsia, labor analgesia, and spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery. The individual articles have been selected not only on scientific merit, but also if they have raised important issues or caused controversy.
