(Lancet. 2023;402:386–396) Pre-eclampsia is a relatively common condition and poses a disproportionately high risk to women in low-income and middle-income countries where it is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, estimated to have caused more than 42,000 deaths. The only known treatment is delivery, but there are also risks associated with preterm delivery that can contribute to both maternal and neonatal outcomes. Evidence suggests delivery at 37 weeks optimizes outcomes for both mother and infant, but there is little evidence about delivery in the late preterm gestational period leading up to that, between 34 and 36 and 6/7 weeks. Research in higher income settings has shown that fetal death in these cases is rare, but there are factors in such settings that are unavailable or unrealistic in low-income and middle-income settings. This study aimed to address the gap in knowledge by assessing outcomes related to planned delivery between 34 and 37 weeks in women with pre-eclampsia compared with expectant management during the same gestational period in India and Zambia.

(BJOG. 2023;130(10):1269–1274) The physiological changes that occur in pregnancy have been associated with new onset and recurrent cardiac arrhythmias. It is common for pregnant patients to experience palpitations in pregnancy, and most of these do not require treatment. However, some arrhythmias require treatment including medications and/or direct current cardioversion (DCCV) to restore the patient’s rhythm. In a recent inquiry into maternal deaths in the United Kingdom (UK), DCCV was not applied consistently and may have resulted in maternal deaths. This study aimed to understand practice surrounding DCCV in the UK, assessing which arrhythmias occurred and how they were treated. In addition, they evaluated outcomes associated with obstetric and neonatal health, including the use of fetal monitoring and whether there were cases where DCCV caused harm to the fetus.

(Lancet 2023;401:2038–2039) This editorial discusses multiple recent studies that investigated perinatal outcomes and the impact of anesthetic interventions. A prior study published in the Lancet in 2022 reported poorer perinatal outcomes for neonates born to Black women compared to those born to White women. Another study examined nearly 450,000 deliveries and found an association between neonatal outcomes (Apgar <7 at 5 min, need for neonatal resuscitation, and neonatal admission to the intensive care unit) and maternal use of epidural analgesia. The authors of this editorial examined their own data regarding the incidence of obstetric anesthetic procedures among different ethnic groups and found that compared to White British women who had vaginal birth, incidence of epidural analgesia among Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Black African, and Black Caribbean women was much lower. They noted that similar disparities can be found in the United States and reiterated the socioeconomic and systemic disparities as one likely cause for poor neonatal outcomes, suggesting that offering equal access to neuraxial analgesia across all populations could lead to improved neonatal outcomes for Black women.

(Int J Obstet Anesth. 2023;55:103647) The global perspective on obstetric anesthesia emphasizes the critical role of universal health coverage, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The United Nations prioritizes achieving 80% global universal health coverage by 2030, recognizing the substantial gaps in emergency and essential surgical and anesthesia care. The shortage of health care workers, especially in low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC), is evident, focusing on the lack of anesthesia physicians. In Europe, standards for physician anesthesia providers are currently achieved, but concerns persist about workforce challenges. Obstetric anesthesia practices vary globally, and efforts to address shortages include fellowship programs to enhance competency and efficiency. Examples from European countries, such as Israel, demonstrate diverse approaches to training obstetric anesthesiologists, aiming to ensure quality care amid workforce challenges. The Israel Obstetric Anesthesia Society actively contributes to education and training, highlighting the ongoing need for improvement in aligning standards with daily practice.

(Aust N Z J Obstet Gynaecol. 2023;63:308–313) Secondary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is excessive vaginal bleeding occurring up to 12 weeks after childbirth. The incidence ranges from 0.2% to 3.0%, usually presenting 1 to 2 weeks postnatally and commonly caused by endometritis and retained products. Despite its impact on health, evidence for managing and understanding its cost burden is lacking compared with primary PPH. Australian public hospitals are subsidized, but reproductive care costs were $8.7B in 2018 to 2019. Effective resource allocation is vital amidst rising health care expenses. Limited evidence guides secondary PPH treatment, potentially leading to multiple presentations and increased costs. Consequences include resuscitation, transfusion, surgery, and hysterectomy, elevating health care expenses. This study sought to analyze the economic impact of secondary PPH.

(Reg Anesth Pain Med. 2023;48(7):365–374) Over the years, many drugs have acquired colloquial “street names” in addition to their official designations. Familiarizing medical professionals, including anesthesiologists, with these slang terms can be crucial for effective patient care. Some drugs are named based on their physical appearance or packaging, which may differ from their clinical labels. This allows drug users and dealers to discuss substances discreetly in everyday conversation. Therefore, having a comprehensive list of street names associated with various drugs is essential for health care providers to ensure patient safety and provide appropriate care.

(Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand. 2023;102:1176–1182) Nausea and vomiting are prevalent in early pregnancy, with 3.6% experiencing severe symptoms termed hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). Characterized by early onset, impaired eating, and impactful daily life restrictions, HG leads to dehydration and weight loss, becoming a primary cause for early pregnancy hospitalization. Unfortunately, health care recognition of HG is insufficient, resulting in underdiagnosis and undertreatment. The condition’s multifactorial origins include vestibular, olfactory, hormonal, and gastrointestinal factors. General nausea links to various situations and a family history of HG suggests a genetic component. Research indicates that women with a history of nausea may be more susceptible to HG. Identifying such connections can aid health care professionals in recognizing and managing HG risk.

(Anaesthesia. 2023;78(9):1071–1080) The peripartum period, encompassing childbirth and its aftermath, involves the administration of anesthesia or analgesia to ∼65% of patients, a substantial portion necessitated by urgent surgical interventions. The imperative to enhance surgical recovery and ensure patient satisfaction postpartum is crucial for delivering high-quality clinical care, as it has the potential to positively influence maternal physical and psychological well-being. Despite the escalating focus on postpartum-related research, prior studies on recovery have been predominantly confined to single-center endeavors with limited sample sizes, deploying disparate outcome measures or unvalidated metrics, primarily evaluating inpatient recovery with insufficient scrutiny of outpatient recovery.
