assisted reproduction techniques
previous ectopic
what must be considered in all women of childbearing age who present with abdominal or pelvic complaints or with unexplained signs or sx of hypovolemia
ECTOPIC
no missed menses are reported in what percent of ectopic cases
15%
When is a qualitative B-hCG test positive when in the urine and blood respectively?
urine: >20 mIU/mL

blood: >10 mIU/mL

therefore a positive test implies that B-hCG is present in at least this concentration. At this level of detection, the false negative rate for detection of pregnancy will not be >1% for urine, and <0.5% for serum
what type of urine may cause a false negative urine preg test?
Dilute urine
The sensitivity of a quant serum testing for the diagnosis of pregnancy is ____% when an assay capable of detecting >5 mIU/mL of B-hCG is used
virtually 100

if you suspect ectopic, and qualitative is negative, you can try quant
T/F

No single B-hCG levl can reliably distinguish btw a normal and pathologic prgenancy
True
primary goal of US in suspected ectopic preg?
to determine if an IUP is present
Give some of the ancillary findings on US that are suggestive of ectopic pregnancy in high-risk pts
Finding/risk % of ectopic:

Small amount of free pelvic fluid / 52
Echogenic adnexal mass / 70
moderate to large amount of free pelvic fluid / 86
any mass plus echogenic fluid / 97

most common cause of septic abortion?
retained prodcuts of conception due to incomplete spontaneous or therapeutic ab and introduction of vaginal bacteria by instrumentation
woman in first or second trimester with hyperemesis should raise your suspicion for?
molar pregnancy
define hyperemesis gravidarum
intractable vomiting with weight loss
volume depeletion
lab values showing hypokalemia or ketonemia
Ketonuria is important to find in pregnant pts with vomiting because...?
it is a sign of starvation
the presence fo abdominal pain in nausea and vomiting of pregnancy or hyperemesis gravidarum is highly unusual and should...
suggest another diagnosis

think ruptured ectopic
