The ACOG's PB 205 (2019; reaffirmed Aug 2024) states that "when compared with spontaneous labor, induced labor is associated with a lower likelihood of achieving VBAC". Additionally, that guidance states, "Several studies have noted an increased risk of uterine rupture in the setting of induction of labor in women attempting TOLAC". These are important observations to review with a patient. However, according to a study soon to be published in March 2025, based on US Vital Statistics birth certificate data, that may not be the case. YEP...Medicine Moves Fast. Listen in for details.

Dr. Chapa’s Clinical Pearls. - Severe CHTN or Superimposed PreE w/Severe Features?
play

02/06/25 • 43 min

Yep, its an area of debate and confusion. Controversy surrounds the diagnosis of CHTN with severe BPs vs superimposed preeclampsia with severe features. Do you need “new onset proteinuria” for the diagnosis of superimposed preeclampsia over CHTN? What about “with severe features”? This is something that is very clear to understand, yet muddy; there is well defined guidance here which is grey! Yep, we will cover this controversy and give PRACTICAL insights for the care of CHTN with severe BPs in the third trimester.

Dr. Chapa’s Clinical Pearls. - Urine STI Screening: New Data

Urine STI Screening: New Data

Dr. Chapa’s Clinical Pearls.

play

03/31/23 • 19 min

For women’s healthcare, there are 3 ways to screen for genital GC, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis: 1. vaginal swab, 2. endocervical swab, or 3. first-catch urine. The CDC states that, “For female screening, specimens obtained with a vaginal swab are the preferred specimen type. Vaginal swab specimens are as sensitive as cervical swab specimens.” Why does it not favor urine screening? Although acceptable at a POPULATION level, there are several caveats to urine screening for STIs at an INDIVIDUAL level. In this episode, we will review the latest published data (March/April) regarding the sensitivity of urine screening for these 3 common STIs. Additionally, we will summarize important instructions/tips for proper self-swab collection, and proper first-catch urine testing.

Dr. Chapa’s Clinical Pearls. - Ca-Mg “Love-Hate” Bond: Follow Ca Levels on MagSulfate?
play

05/09/25 • 25 min

(Topic Requested): Serum Magnesium and Calcium have an intimate and complex relationship best described as “love-hate”. One of our podcast family members sent me this fascinating question: “Should we be following serum calcium levels in patients undergoing IV Mag Sulfate use in obstetrics, in order to identify dangerous hypocalcemia?...Should we be giving these patients prophylactic calcium?” Thera are indeed published case reports of hypocalcemia induced tetany in patients. However, are there national guidelines which call for “calcium surveillance”? Do you remember what the Chvostek's and Trousseau's signs are? Listen in for details.
