Contributor: Aaron Lessen MD Educational Pearls: Pregnant patients at high risk of cardiac arrest, in cardiac arrest, or in extremis require special care A useful mnemonic to recall the appropriate management of critically ill pregnant patients is TOLDD T: Tilt the patient to the left lateral decubitus position This position relieves pressure exerted from the uterus onto the inferior vena cava, which reduces cardiac preload If the patient is receiving CPR, an assistant should displace the uterus manually from the IVC towards the patient's left side O: Administer high-flow adjunctive oxygen  L: Lines should be placed above the diaphragm Lines below the diaphragm are ineffective due to uterine compression of the IVC May consider humeral interosseous line vs. internal jugular or subclavian central line D: Dates should be estimated > 20 weeks, can consider a resuscitative hysterotomy (previously known as perimortem c-section) to improve chances of survival The uterus is palpable at the umbilicus at 20 weeks and 1 cm superior to the umbilicus for every week thereafter D: Call the labor and delivery unit for additional help References ACOG Practice Bulletin No. 211 Summary: Critical Care in Pregnancy.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a leading cause of health care visits in the USA and around the world. In the US, they have a cost burden of $3.5 billion annually. Half of women experience at least one UTI in their lifetime, and approximately 25% of these women develop recurrent UTIs! On October 31, 2024, a study was published in Obstetrics Gynecology (the Green Journal) looking at UTI treatment trends in nonpregnant women. With the increased use of tele-visits, there is now a conundrum between allowing easier access to care (tele-visit) and treatment of UTIs online balanced against contributing to antibiotic resistance. Is urine culture recommended prior to antibiotic use for uncomplicated UTI? That depends on who you read! We will discuss this issue in this episode. PLUS, we will briefly discuss a NEW oral antibiotic for uncomplicated UTI in women; this was just FDA approved on October 25, 2024.

Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) has a reported incidence of approximately 0.3–3% of pregnancies. Without prompt recognition and treatment, severe maternal dehydration, electrolyte abnormalities, cardiac arrhythmias, and potentially altered fetal neurodevelopment may result. Recently, HG made medical and general media news as new data has pinpointed 2 likely culprits of its origin- and neither one is estrogen. In this episode, we will discuss these 2 protein markers, and how researchers are looking to develop a genetic test for patients to predict HG. We will also summarize a new publication from Obstetrics & Gynecology (which was published on February 1, 2024) as an ACOG Clinical Expert Series on the inpatient management of HG.

The pelvic examination is a standard component of the annual gynecologic visit despite limited evidence supporting its utility. Pelvic examinations can be a source of discomfort and anxiety for some patients seeking routine health care, whereas, for others, they can offer reassurance. In 2018, the ACOG released CO 754 on "The Utility of and Indications for Routine Pelvic Examination". What does the AAFP, ACP, and ACOG say about "routine" pelvic examinations in low-risk, nonpregnant, and asymptomatic women? Why do they say what they do? In this episode, we will summarize a new publication from Obstetrics & Gynecology which was just released yesterday (November 9, 2023) which validates these professional societies' guidelines/stances.
