| Popis: | Background There have been many advances in obstetric anesthesiology in the past 2 decades. We sought to create a list of highly influential publications in the field using the Delphi method among a group of obstetric anesthesiology experts to create an important educational, clinical, and research resource. Methods Experts in the field, defined as obstetric anesthesiologists selected to present the Gerard W. Ostheimer Lecture at the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP) annual meeting within the past 20 years, were recruited to participate. The Delphi technique was used by administering 3 rounds of surveys. Participants were initially asked to identify the highly influential publications from the year they presented the Ostheimer lecture, in addition to the most influential publications from the time period overall. Highly influential publications were defined as those that changed traditional views, invoked meaningful practices, catalyzed additional research, and fostered ideas or practices that had durability over time. After each round of surveys, responses were collected and used as choices for subsequent surveys with the goal of obtaining group consensus. Results We determined expert consensus on 22 highly influential publications from 1998 to 2017. The focus of these publications ranged from disease entities, interventions, treatment methodologies, and complications. Conclusions Key themes in the publications chosen included the reduction of maternal morbidity and mortality and refinements in the analgesic and anesthetic management of labor and delivery. |
