Part of our coverage of the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP) meeting, this piece looks at the excitement and challenges of obstetric anesthesia; the importance of academic and community practice collaboration; the impact of sharing updated protocols and research. We also discuss artificial intelligence, managing the overwhelming volume of medical literature to improve patient care and outcomes.
