Abstract
Summary Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is still major challenge because of its bizarre clinical presentation. Strong suspicion is required for its early diagnosis. It is one of the most common cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in 1st trimester. In developing countries, majority of hospital -based studies have reported ectopic pregnancy case fatality rate of around 1-3 %. Therefore, Strong suspicion is required for its early diagnosis. In our study, we observed that there is a rising trend in ectopic pregnancy with incidence 8.22% due to early diagnosis by the availability of more sensitive tests. EP is not a clinical diagnosis, and imaging is required to make a definitive diagnosis. Bedside EPUS is the primary emergency ultrasonographic application in the diagnosis of EP. CT, MRI, and laprascopy techniques are also used for EP diagnosis. Laprascopic biobsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of EP, but US has become the first choice as a diagnostic test due to its easy use, accessibility, lack of radiation, no need for invasive technique, high specificity and high sensitivity. EPUS is an accurate noninvasive method for diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy (EP). It is performed using both: TVUS and TAUS. So, in this study; we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance and accuracy of bedside emergency ultrasound in diagnosis of EP in ED.
