Sleep as an Opportunity to Improve Maternal Mortality
Manage episode 394966843 series 2688360
We wanted to start the new year by examining that time in our lives when we welcome new lives into this world. We often think about pregnancy as a joyful time.
But, for too many women in the US, pregnancy leads to significant morbidity and mortality. Our US maternal mortality rate increased from 20.1 per 100,000 live births in 2019 to 32.9 per 100,000 live births in 2021. For black women, this was 69.9 deaths per 100,000 live births. The causes are severe bleeding, infections, and preeclampsia/eclampsia. The CDC indicates that 4/5 pregnancy-related deaths in the US are preventable. Dr. Ghada Bourjeily is here to show us how maternal mortality intersects with sleep medicine.
