Racism in the United States has deep roots that affect maternal health, particularly through pervasive inequalities among black women compared with white. Anesthesiologists are optimally positioned to maintain vigilance for these disparities in maternal care, and to intervene with their unique acute critical care skills and knowledge. As leaders in patient safety, anesthesiologists should drive hospitals and practices to develop and implement national bundles for patient safety, as well as using team-based training practices designed to improve hospitals that care for racially diverse mothers.
美国的种族主义根深蒂固，影响着产妇健康，尤其是在与白人相比的黑人女性中存在普遍的不平等现象。麻醉师处于最佳位置，可以警惕产妇护理中的这些差异，并利用他们独特的急性重症监护技能和知识进行干预。作为患者安全的领导者，麻醉师应该推动医院和实践制定和实施国家患者安全套餐，以及使用旨在改善为不同种族母亲提供护理的医院的团队培训实践。
