Obstetric Anesthesiology
There are approximately 7,000 deliveries per year between Grady Memorial Hospital and Emory University Hospital Midtown with many of our patients admitted with premature labor, pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, cardiac-related issues, and numerous other medical problems. This exposure to high-risk patients with multiple medical co-morbidities helps our residents develop a keen understanding of maternal and fetal physiological characteristics. By the end of residency, residents will be extremely comfortable with performing lumbar epidurals, combined spinal-epidurals, spinals, and general anesthesia techniques given the high volume of patients we see daily. OB attendings are passionate about teaching and will often be found leading daily didactic sessions on OB-related topics.
