Celebrating Over 150 Years of Obstetric Anesthesia

The Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP) was founded in 1968 to provide a forum for discussion of problems unique to the peripartum period. SOAP is comprised of anesthesiologists, obstetricians, pediatricians, and basic scientists who share an interest in the care of the pregnant patient and the newborn.

The MISSION of this Society is to improve the pregnancy-related outcomes of women and neonates through the support of obstetric anesthesiology research, the provision of education to its members, and other providers, and pregnant women, and the promotion of excellence in clinical anesthetic care.

Through the newsletter, Internet site, and annual meetings, this Society allows practitioners of several specialties to meet and discuss clinical practice, basic and clinical research, and practical professional concerns.

A membership in SOAP is an opportunity to meet people who share your interests, and to stimulate improvements in health care for pregnant patients.

Welcome to SOAP!

Welcome to the website of the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP). Whether you're a seasoned SOAP member and/or a health care provider or researcher, a pregnant woman (or family member or friend) seeking information, or a person who just happened to find our site, we're happy that you're here.  We redesigned our website this year (June, 2009) to allow you a more attractive and easier way to find and navigate through information.  For all visitors, hopefully you'll find information that is helpful to you.  For SOAP members, there are additional resources available to you including guidance and meeting documents, articles, and databases.  We continue to add new information and features on a frequent and regular basis, so come back again for a visit soon!   

Cheers,
Lawrence C. Tsen MD
President, Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology
