Stephen Garber's CV

Fellowship trained Obstetric Anesthesiologist at a Level III Labor and Delivery Center for 30+ years. Have performed over 15,000 regional anesthetics, which include epidural and spinal anesthetics. I have been responsible for Best Practices at our institution, and the point person for two successful Center of Excellence designations through the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology. During my tenure I have brought many innovations to our practice, some of which include: transition from epidural to spinal anesthesia for Cesarean Section, patient controlled epidural infusions (PCEA), difficult airway equipment, combined spinal epidural for labor (CSE), rapid infusion equipment for maternal hemorrhage, point of care rapid hemoglobin assessment, handheld portable ultrasound device for difficult epidural placement, Early Recovery After Surgery protocol (ERAS), initiated TAP blocks with long acting local anesthetic after CS, and reduced opioid use by over 80%. We are a referral center for high risk maternity, so over the years I have taken care of many high risk maternity patients. I continue to practice Obstetric Anesthesia at the same institution, and participate in the peer review process reviewing obstetric anesthesia cases referred to the committee.
