Abstract:
Obstetric hemorrhage is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Prevention includes identifying patients with risk factors and actively managing the third stage of labor. The anesthesiologist should be ready to manage hemorrhage with general strategies as well as strategies tailored to the specific cause of hemorrhage. Both neuraxial anesthesia and general anesthesia are appropriate in different situations. Treatments proven to be effective include increasing the oxytocin infusion, administering tranexamic acid early, guiding transfusion with point-of-care tests, and using cell salvage. Utilization of protocols and checklists within systems that encourage effective communication between teams should be implemented.

Blood Pressure: Hypertension and Hypotension
Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg. Elevated blood pressure is 120-129/under 80 mm Hg. Hypertension, warranting treatment at 130/80 mm Hg, is often asymptomatic and can lead to severe cardiovascular events, aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease, chronic renal disease, or cardiac...
