Laboring Under Pressure Episode 4: Obstetric Emergency in South Africa with Dr. Meghan Hurley Contributors: Meghan Hurley MD, Travis Barlock MD, Jeffrey Olson MS3 Show Pearls Map of South Africa Referenced South Africa Geography Lesson There is a big disparity between Cape Town and its neighbor Khayelitsha. Cape Town is the legislative capital and economic hub of South Africa, known for its infrastructure, tourist attractions, and developed urban areas. Khayelitsha Township is a large informal settlement on the outskirts of Cape Town, with limited infrastructure and services compared to the city center. Many residents live in informal housing. This disparity is the lasting effect of how land was divided up and populations were moved around during Apartheid. Apartheid was a policy of segregation that lasted from 1948 to 1994. How does medical education work in South Africa? Medical education in South Africa typically follows a 6-year undergraduate program directly after high school Registrars our the equivalent of Resident in America. They are graduated doctors who work in hospitals under the supervision of senior doctors as they progress toward becoming specialists. Pearls from the case and the discussion afterward Whole blood from a draw can be used instead of urine on a POC pregnancy test. Wait a little bit longer before making a determination because blood is more viscous. Although the casettes are not approved for whole blood several studies have shown this to be efficacious. Free fluid in the abdomen and a pregnancy of unknown location is a rupture ectopic until proven otherwise. Appendicitis can present on the left side. Most commonly from an extra appendix, but can also result from situs inversus or mid-gut malrotation. This presentation can also be the result of an atypically large appendix. Fever is common in appendicitis (~40%) and becomes less common with older patients. Don't be falsely reassured by a normal hemoglobin in acute bleeding because patients bleed whole blood and the hemoglobin concentration is not affected. These patients should be resuscitated with whole blood. Give rhesus factor negative blood to female patients of childbearing age to prevent them from developing antibodies to the rhesus factor which can lead to Rh disease in future pregnancies. Rhogam can be given in cases of ruptured ectopic pregnancies to lower the risk of alloimmunization. Blood transfusions carry the risk of lung and heart injury from the extra volume. The treatment for this condition is to diurese the patient. Other topics discussed include the complications of working in a South African township hospital at night, the epidemiology of burns, and the importance of global health.   References Akbulut S, Ulku A, Senol A, Tas M, Yagmur Y.

- În Croația, poliția anchetează moartea directorului celui mai mare spital din Zagreb.- Un studiu al Națiunilor Unite arată discrepanțele din mediul rural și cel urban muntenegrean în ceea ce privește oportunitățile pentru femei: în mediul rural doar 16% dintre acestea au pe numele lor o gospodărie și de regulă nu ele, ci bărbații primesc moșteniri.Revista presei Europa Plus:  Polițiștii croați anchetează moartea directorului celui mai mare spital din Zagreb care a căzut de pe scara de incendiu a spitalului, scrie www.jutarnji.hr. Potrivit unor informații neoficiale, Ante Ćorušić a căzut de la o înălțime de opt metri, s-a lovit la cap și a murit pe loc. Colegii au încercat să-l resusciteze, dar fără rezultat.„Director de mult timp al celui mai mare spital croat, profesor universitar, specialist în ginecologie și obstetrică, președinte al Societății Croate de Ginecologie și Obstetrică, Ante Ćorušić a lăsat o amprentă semnificativă asupra sistemului medical croat. Plecarea lui bruscă este o pierdere pentru comunitatea medicală”, a transmis Societatea Croată de Ginecologie într-un comunicat.Majoritatea femeilor muntenegrene din mediul rural nu moștenesc nimic„Suținerea femeilor din zonele rurale este cheia dezvoltării durabile în Muntenegru.” Iată titlul unui articol din www.dan.co.me care citează un studiu al Programul Națiunilor Unite pentru Dezvoltare. „Femeile din Muntenegrul rural se confruntă cu numeroase provocări care evidențiază necesitatea unor schimbări sistemice care să le permită acces egal la resurse, luarea deciziilor și oportunități economice.”Potrivit studiului, doar 16% dintre femeile din mediul rural dețin o gospodărie și doar 32% dețin pământ. „Majoritatea femeilor din mediul rural nu vor moșteni nimic din familiile lor. Statisticile arată că femeile din nordul Muntenegrului au de șapte ori mai puține șanse de a obține un loc de muncă decât femeile din sud și mai mult de jumătate dintre femeile șomere nici măcar nu doresc să-și găsească un loc de muncă. Femeile desfășoară în principal muncă casnică neremunerată.”Ora de vârf din Belgrad durează toată ziua... titrează site-ul televiziunii N1 Info. „Prioritatea primarului este să vopsească autobuzele,” acuză opoziția din partea partidului ZLF – Stânga Verde. Televiziunea a intervievat un inginer de trafic potrivit căruia, „pentru a reduce ambuteiajele în oraș, este necesar să se transforme cât mai multe străzi în străzi cu sens unic, (...) să se respecte licitațiile și să se instaleze asfalt de înaltă calitate.” Inginerul de trafic mai spune că problemele cu firmele care execută lucrările ar putea fi reduse prin simpla respectare a condițiilor anunțate în licitație: firmele ar trebui să plătească penalități dacă nu termină lucrările în termenul alocat.„Poate cineva din Serbia să facă asfalt de calitate?” se întreabă expertul. „Se pare că aici, în Serbia, nimeni nu știe cum să facă asfalt bun care poate dura cinci, zece sau cincisprezece ani. Dar acum douăzeci de ani, lumea a inventat asfaltul mai dur decât betonul, rezistent la schimbări de temperatură și diverși agenți chimici”, reamintește inginerul. De partea sa, o consilieră municipală din partea opoziției spune că pentru primar, „prioritatea nu este transportul urban eficient, ci privatizarea lui liniștit㔄Politica actuală, susține ea, nu ajută la rezolvarea problemelor de trafic din Belgrad, pentru că este în primul rând estetică, motiv pentru care nu avem transport public eficient.”„Prioritatea e reprezentată de autobuze noi, revopsirea autobuzelor de la roșu la albastru, am văzut în Belgrad sensuri giratorii care nu sunt interesante decât estetic. Pe ele stă un polițist rutier care dirijează traficul și cred că nicăieri în lume pe un sens giratoriu nu este nevoie de un polițist care să facă acest lucru,” a spus consiliera. Ea acuză guvernul că vrea să privatizeze discret compania publica de transport, iar acest lucru va permite celor apropiați Partidului Progresist Sârb, al președintelui Vucic, să câștige bani. Au participat la Revista Presei Europa Plus:Jelena Vukadinović - Muntenegru;Nevena Bajić - Serbia Europa Plus este un proiect RFI România realizat în parteneriat cu Agenția Universitară a Francofoniei 

In the US, childbirth typically occurs in hospitals or accredited birth centers. President of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Stella Marie Dantas, MD, speaks with JAMA Deputy Editor Linda Brubaker, MD, MS, about newly proposed advanced birth centers that would permit higher-risk births, with concerns for patient safety and rural obstetric care access.

The late Richard Lugar, Indiana's former U.S. Senator, was honored at a ceremony dedicating a statue to him in downtown Indianapolis. What is the landscape of virtual schools in Indiana? A federal judge ruled the Family and Social Services Administration is required to provide necessary services for two medically complex children who were affected by changes to the attendant care program. An important aspect of lowering infant and maternal mortality rates is connecting pregnant people to prenatal care earlier – but that can be difficult in rural areas that are considered maternal care deserts.

"I think one of the most important things about fistula is that it is completely preventable and treatable. So this is a solvable problem. We used to have this problem here in the US and now we don't." – Bonnie RuderObstetric fistula affects around 2 million women globally, with 50,000 to 100,000 new cases each year. This devastating, yet entirely preventable condition profoundly impacts women's lives, causing chronic infections, incontinence, and severe social ostracism and isolation.In this powerful new episode, I'm joined by Bonnie Ruder, midwife, medical anthropologist, and co-founder of Terrewode Women's Fund. Together, we explore the: The definition and causes of obstetric fistula - and why this should never happen to any woman, anywhere in the world The nefarious history of obstetric fistula surgery on enslaved women in the United StatesThe medical, personal, and social impacts of fistula on women's lives — and their incredible resilienceBonnie's journey from home birth midwife to fistula activistHolistic treatment approaches: medical care, social reintegration, and economic empowermentEfforts to prevent fistula through better access to maternal healthcare and the role of traditional birth attendants in fistula preventionTune into this heart-wrenching yet inspiring episode to learn more about the impact of obstetric fistula and the incredible work being done to confront it.Terrewode Women's Fund's mission to end obstetric fistula in Uganda are truly inspiring.

For Nurse's Week 2024, we wanted to share a replay of one of our favorite episodes at EBB, and that is an interview with Melissa Anne DuBois about shifting from hospital labor and delivery nurse to home birth advocate. Content note: Discussion of obstetric racism and graphic description of obstetric violence. Melissa Anne DuBois is an experienced perinatal nurse living in Central Massachusetts. She graduated summa cum laude from the University of Massachusetts Amherst School of Nursing in 2006 and has worked in a variety of perinatal settings since 2007 including in-patient labor and delivery, high-risk obstetrics, outpatient OB-GYN, homebirth, and postpartum home health. Melissa Anne became a childbirth educator in 2011 and a lactation counselor in 2014 and currently teaches childbirth classes for babiesincommon.com. Melissa Anne is also the mother of three children. In today's replay, you're going to listen to Melissa tell her birth story, as well as her unique perspective on labor and delivery nursing, which came out of her own traumatic birth experience, witnessing obstetric violence and obstetric racism for many years as a labor & delivery nurse, and seeing outdated procedures being performed in hospital settings. Melissa went on to have a healing birth at home, and to get involved in advocacy for expanding home birth options for families. At the end of the podcast, we will share a brief update on what Melissa is up to now!  Resources: Learn more about Melissa Anne DuBois and Babies in Common here.

Kate Grant, Chief Executive of the Fistula Foundation, on receiving $15M from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott and treating women with devastating childbirth injuries. Obstetric fistula is a devastating childbirth injury. It leaves a woman incontinent, humiliated, and—all too often—shunned by her community. Surgery is the only cure. The Fistula Foundation is the global leader in fistula treatment, providing more surgeries to more women than any other organization, including the U.S. government and United Nations. Since 2009, they have supported treatment in 33 countries in Africa and Asia.  Thank you for downloading this episode of the Do One Better Podcast.

Join us for a new edition of our global surgery series! On this episode, Dr. Jon Williams is joined by Dr. Sudha Jayaraman and Dr. Justina Seyi-Olajide to discuss how we define global surgery today and how health infrastructure interacts with global surgical care.  Dr. Jayaraman is a trauma and acute care surgeon at University of Utah, and the director of the Center for Global Surgery. After attending UC Davis for medical school, Dr. Jayaraman completed general surgery residency at UCSF, during which time she obtained a masters in public health in developing countries from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. During this time, her efforts were dedicated to researching and implementing trauma systems development in Uganda. After residency she then completed a trauma and critical care fellowship at Brigham and Women's, during which she received the Harvard Medical School Health Disparities Fellowship to continue her trauma systems work in Rwanda. Her ongoing work investigating injury burden and trauma systems in low and middle income countries has been well funded by the NIH, DOD, and others and published in numerous forums, as she is a well-renowned expert in this field.  Dr. Justina Seyi-Olajide is a pediatric surgeon at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital in Lagos, Nigeria. She completed her medical school training at the Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, Nigeria and subsequently her general surgical and pediatric surgical training at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, earning the Fellowship of West African College of Surgeons in Pediatric Surgery and the Alinta Nwako prize for best graduating pediatric surgical trainee. Dr. Seyi-Olajide's vision is to provide equitable pediatric surgical care in resource-limited settings, and has been highly influential for developing initiatives such as the National Surgical, Obstetric, Anesthesia and Nursing Plan for Nigeria. Additionally, she is a member of the Global Initiative for Children's Surgery and is well published for her original research on topics regarding access to pediatric surgical care in low and middle income countries.  Have any feedback for the global surgery content, or have any suggestions for future episodes?

Is waterbirth safe? Are there any randomized, controlled trials on this subject? What are the benefits and risks of waterbirth? And if the evidence shows that waterbirth is a safe and beneficial form of childbirth… then why do so many hospitals “ban” this practice? And how can you access a waterbirth if that is something you are interested in? Today's podcast episode is chock full of research from our peer-reviewed Evidence Based Birth® Signature Article: The Evidence on Waterbirth. To learn more, download a free one-page handout, and view all the research references, go to ebbirth.com/waterbirth.
