In this episode, Dr. Blake, Reid Mergler, and Caimhe Duffy examine the crucial role of anesthesiologists in recognizing and addressing trauma during labor. Their thorough narrative review highlights the importance of trauma-informed care, which shifts the focus from “what is wrong with the patient” to “what has happened to the patient.” The trio discusses how anesthesiologists can embrace this mindset, promoting empathy and understanding without judgment.
