PROM: Pit or Cytotec?

Dr. Chapa’s Clinical Pearls.

Podcast Fam, on March 27, 2024 our episode was called "Balloon for PROM: Yea or Nay". Although mechanical cervical balloons for induction were the focus, we also discussed which medication is better (based on published data) for labor induction after PROM. Well, in this episode, we pick up from March with ANOTHER NEW STUDY released today (June 25, 2024) in AJOG MFM. This RCT builds on the evidence that going straight to Pitocin (despite an unfavorable cervix) is the way to go after PROM. Although there are study design limitations, this is reassuring- and validating- information. Listen in for the "I TOLD YOU SO DANCE", and for details.
