Episode 9 - Emergencies in Pregnancy

  In this episode we review Dr. Scott Weingart's Practical Evidence Podcast #3 on Management of First Trimester Vaginal Bleeding and ACEP's 2012 Clinical Policy.  After a thrilling discussion of the discriminatory zone and ultrasound, we digress into core content covering bleeding in later pregnancy (placental abruption and previa), abdominal pain in pregnancy including septic abortion and chorioamnionitis, as well as eclampsia and pre-eclampsia. Key Texts: Tintinalli (7e) Chapters 102-105 ; Rosen's (8e) Chapter 178 As always, visit foamcast.org for show notes and the generously donated Rosh Review questions. Thanks y'all! -Jeremy Faust and Lauren Westafer

Om Podcasten

We believe in the educational merits of Free Open Access Medical education (FOAM), which includes podcasts, blogs, articles on PubMed Central, conferences streamed for free and more. As a result, we would like to encourage others to move beyond quoting podcasts and into the realm of tying “cutting edge” FOAM to the core content. We’ll provide some review and references for listeners to go read. Why, indeed, should we FOAM it alone when FOAM can inspire us to go, read, think, and be excellent?
