SPIRESPIRE-Obs-Anesthesia-Pediatrics
SPIRE-Obs-Anesthesia-Pediatrics focuses on improving clinical outcomes for mothers and newborns during emergency cesarean sections. By collecting real-world data from hospitals in Lahore and Peshawar, SPIRE is identifying anesthesia-related risks and outcomes specific to Pakistan’s healthcare settings. This research aims to inform safer anesthesia protocols, strengthen training, and ultimately reduce preventable maternal and infant mortality.
Why SPIRE-Obs-Anesthesia-Pediatrics Matters
Critical Gap in Data
Pakistan has one of the highest maternal and neonatal mortality rates, yet lacks national data on anesthesia-related outcomes.
High-Risk Procedures
Emergency cesarean sections present significant risks for both mothers and babies, especially in low-resource settings.
Quality of Care Challenge
Variation in anesthesia techniques and equipment contributes to preventable complications.
Global Health Relevance
Understanding local anesthesia outcomes contributes to improving maternal health benchmarks worldwide.
SPIRE’s Response
By establishing multicenter databases and training clinicians, SPIRE is pioneering the first evidence-based obstetric anesthesia research program in Pakistan.
