ABSTRACT
The intrapartum management of multiple gestations poses unique challenges to the perinatal team. Good anesthesiology management may assist in the obstetric management of women with multiple gestation, as well as improve both maternal and neonatal outcome. Anesthesiologists should have an understanding of the unique problems associated with multiple gestation, and obstetricians should have an understanding of the anesthetic issues surrounding labor and delivery in these instances. The anesthesiologist should be notified whenever a woman with multiple gestation is admitted to the hospital for labor and delivery.
