Abstract
We performed a prospective Internet survey study of anesthesiologists lactating in 2022 or 2023. Approximately half (48%, 75 of 156) lacked convenient dedicated lactation space and approximately half (55%, 86 of 155) used a wearable breast pump. The vast majority using a wearable pump did so in clinical settings, including operating rooms (88%, 76 of 86). When using during cases, approximately half reported that milk production was sufficient to substitute for lactation pumping sessions (52%, 39 of 75). Based on probability distributions of surgical times, future research can evaluate the usefulness of wearable pumps based on the objective of reducing anesthesiologists' durations of lactation sessions to <15 minutes.
