The Society for the Study of Delivery Management (SSDM) was established over 30 years ago and recently held its annual symposium during the annual meeting of the Japan Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy (JSSHP). To engage both the SSDM and JSSHP, Secretary Generals of the JSSHP (K. Naruse and Dr. Shintaro Makino from Juntendo Univ., Tokyo) were requested by Dr. Katsuto Eguchi (President of the JSSHP, Okayama Central Hospital, Okayama) and Dr. Shigeru Saito (President of the Meeting and President-elect of the JSSHP, Toyama Univ., Toyama) to state the new aims of the SSDM symposium.
Recently, new research from studies involving topics such as uterine spiral artery remodeling and epigenetic changes has proposed the direct effects as well as the pathophysiological similarities of pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) as compared to other emergent obstetric diseases such as placental abruption, fetal growth restriction and non-reassuring fetal status, thrombotic diseases, amniotic fluid embolism, or brain stroke. However, very few groups in Japan and elsewhere accept the viewpoints of researchers/clinicians who wish to discuss obstetric emergency diseases from a broader perspective which includes early placentation failure, genetic changes that link PIH and other issues, and failed cases of PIH leading to other organ failure. As such, we propose addressing “obstetric emergencies” as a new aim for our annual symposium over the next few years. This will comprise one portion of the JSSHP, but will not be strongly restricted to a discussion on hypertension.
This year, we invited five clinicians to the symposium on October 5, 2013 in Toyama, chaired by Dr. Jun Yoshimatsu (National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka) and Dr. Koichiro Shimoya (Kawasaki Univ., Okayama). The theme was “Infusion-and-output balance on PIH and other obstetric emergency (include blood transfusion and control of postpartum hemorrhage),” and a fruitful discussion developed among the attendees, who comprised many passionate and enthusiastic young doctors and residents. The aim of the future SSDM remained undecided and is currently under revision by the next President of the Meeting (Dr. Satoru Takeda, Juntendo Univ., Tokyo), but the general consensus was to invite active researchers and clinicians to give talks with empirical data as well as findings on useful, challenging, or innovative clinical techniques and outcomes. Further support for this symposium from any clinical or basic research fields is greatly appreciated.
