Obstetric Anesthesia Workforce Survey: Forty-year Update
Despite stable annual birth rates in the United States, the number of hospitals providing obstetric care decreased by 50% over the last 40 yr. This study describes nonacademic practice and not just academic teaching hospitals. Increased access to neuraxial labor analgesia is a dramatic step toward reducing in-hospital maternal mortality and improving healthcare disparities.
