The monthly Obstetrics Grand Rounds Series will present topics on diagnosis and management of normal and complicated pregnancy, including routine and advanced obstetrical ultrasound. The series aims to review evidence-based standards of care and to provide contemporary, state-of-the art updates on topics where new information is available. At the conclusion of the activity, learners will implement at least one strategy, new technique(s), or intervention(s) to identify the specific ultrasound fin...

Currently, less than 20% of neonatal surgeries in the U.S. are performed using minimally invasive techniques (MIS), despite strong evidence of their safety and benefits. This gap reflects limited training, experience, and institutional adoption. This activity aims to advance knowledge and practical skills in neonatal MIS, encouraging broader implementation and improving surgical outcomes through education and team readiness.

This educational activity addresses a significant practice gap in the management of hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) in extremely preterm infants. Despite over 60 randomized clinical trials of medical PDA treatment, clinicians continue to face uncertainty regarding patient selection, timing of intervention, and the assessment of hemodynamic significance. This activity is designed to enhance learners' ability to identify the target population most likely to benefit fro...

Despite growing evidence supporting early and progressive enteral feeding in extremely preterm infants, clinicians continue to rely on prolonged trophic feeding, routine gastric residual monitoring, and withholding feeds during transfusions or PDA treatment. These practices may delay full enteral nutrition, prolong parenteral nutrition, and increase the risk of late-onset sepsis without meaningfully reducing NEC incidence. At the conclusion of the activity, learners will assess operational best ...

Significant variability persists among clinicians in the postnatal evaluation and management of prenatal urinary tract dilation (UTD), including overuse of voiding cystourethrography (VCUG), indiscriminate continuous antibiotic prophylaxis (CAP), and inconsistent application of risk-stratified surveillance protocols. The 2025 AAP clinical practice guidelines introduce 18 key recommendations shifting from indiscriminate testing to evidence-based, risk-stratified care requiring...
