openMFM is the public teaching layer for Maternal-Fetal Medicine: evidence-based slide decks, patient education, and clinical tools that stay usable in real care.

The home page pulls its newest previews directly from the top of the shared presentation feed, so the latest deck shows up here first.
Clinical guidelines for diagnosing and managing cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy (CSP), covering ultrasound diagnostic criteria, classification (Type I-III), risks of uterine rupture, and treatment algorithms.
Clinical protocol for sFlt-1/PlGF ratio testing in suspected preeclampsia, including validation windows (24+0 to 36+6 weeks), cutoff values (ratio <38 to rule out, >85/110 to rule in), and management pathways.
Clinician-focused guide to anticoagulation before, during, and after pregnancy, including risk stratification, medication safety, LMWH dosing, mechanical heart valves, delivery bridging, neuraxial timing, and postpartum resumption.
Patient-centered discussion of fetal ventricular septal defects, including VSD types and size, spontaneous closure, genetic considerations, prenatal monitoring, newborn evaluation, treatment options, and practical next steps.
Core resources that clinicians and patients return to most often across diabetes, fetal growth, and hypertensive disease.
Comprehensive patient education on gestational diabetes: mechanism, screening (GCT/GTT), A1 vs A2 classification, blood sugar targets, medical nutrition therapy, exercise, insulin vs metformin, fetal surveillance, delivery timing, breastfeeding benefits, and long-term diabetes prevention. Based on ACOG PB #190, SMFM, and ADA 2025.
Comprehensive patient guide to fetal growth restriction: initial workup including amniocentesis, TORCH infection panel, autoimmune testing, Doppler surveillance, and delivery timing per ACOG and SMFM guidelines.
Evidence-based clinical update on preeclampsia: two-stage pathophysiology, ACOG 2019 diagnostic criteria (proteinuria not required), severe features, FMF first-trimester screening, aspirin prophylaxis (ASPRE trial), antenatal surveillance, acute BP management, magnesium sulfate dosing, delivery timing, HELLP syndrome, postpartum management, and long-term cardiovascular risk counseling.
Evidence-based calculators and decision-support microsites
Bedside counseling tool that screens for ECV contraindications (ACOG PB 221) and estimates External Cephalic Version success probability using the validated Dahl et al. (2021) four-variable logistic model. Companion to the Breech Presentation & External Cephalic Version patient guide.
Interactive companion to the 'You Are Still Prompting' deck — the ARR + GPS frameworks applied to three real physician workflows with full four-worker anatomy breakdowns: post-visit MFM documentation, idea-to-published-post content pipeline, and daily PGIS athletic readiness.
Interactive patient decision guide for cell-free DNA prenatal screening (NIPT). Covers whether to pursue NIPT based on age, risk factors, and patient values — and explains what a positive result means, including condition-specific and age-stratified positive predictive values (PPV), per ACOG/SMFM guidelines.
Interactive prenatal risk stratification and counseling tool for Vein of Galen Malformation (VOGM). Evaluates fetal MRI brain parenchymal findings, cardiac hemodynamics, malformation morphology, and systemic findings to generate a tiered risk assessment (Critical / High / Standard) with evidence-based clinical recommendations and counseling guidance.
A dual-audience periviability counseling resource covering survival and morbidity outcomes by gestational age (22–25 weeks), prognostic factors, family decision-support questions, key clinical terminology, and ACOG/SMFM guideline references — for patients, families, and clinicians.
Interactive cervical length screening tool and patient education resource covering measurement thresholds, risk stratification, progesterone therapy, cerclage indications, pessary considerations, and ACOG/SMFM guideline-based preterm prevention strategies.
Evidence-based risk calculator for aspirin prophylaxis.
Dual-audience resource for parents and clinicians.
Gestational diabetes screening timing per ACOG 2024.
Hypertension classification tool per ACOG PB #222.
INTERGROWTH-21st, Hadlock, and WHO standards.
FGR surveillance and delivery timing per SMFM #52.
Risk assessment for patients with prior preterm birth. Covers recurrence risk, contributing factors, and prevention strategies.
Comprehensive patient and provider education on Hydrops Fetalis. Covers immune and non-immune causes, diagnostic workup, prognosis, and delivery planning.
Interactive patient education on fetal kick counting and movement monitoring. Covers Cardiff Count-to-Ten method, decreased fetal movement, and when to contact your provider. Includes a dedicated mobile-optimized version.
