Ectopic pregnancy Pregnancy that develops
after implantation of the
blastocyst anywhere other
than the endometrium lining
the uterine cavity

We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th
century , and was often fatal
Viewed as the consequence of violent emotion, usually
fright or surprise during coitus in the cycle of
conception
Early treatment options: starvation, purging, bleeding,
strychnine
1791 first abdominal surgery for ectopic, in 80 years 5
out of 30 women survived
![Page 4: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Getting closer 1876 John Parry described the prognosis of ectopic
pregnancy in his era
“when one is called to a case of this kind, it is his duty to
look upon his unhappy patient as inevitably doomed to
die, unless he can by some active measure wrest her
from the grave already yawning before her”
1884 London physician Robert Lawson Tait performed
the first deliberate laparotomy to ligate bleeding
vessels
![Page 5: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Epidemiology True incidence is difficult to estimate
In the USA in 1992, 2% of known conceptions were
ectopic pregnancies
In the USA the annual ectopic rate is approximately 1.5
per 1000 women ages 15-44
Marked increase in rate with increasing age
Rates are higher in non-white population
Most occur in multiparous women, 85-90%
![Page 6: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Mortality Ectopic pregnancy is the leading cause of maternal
mortality in the first trimester
Death-to-case mortality rate is similar among age
groups, but highest in the non-white population
Unmarried women of all races have 1.7 times greater
chance of dying from ectopic pregnancy
![Page 7: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Mortality 33% of deaths attributed to patient delay in consulting a
physician after symptoms
50% of deaths attributed to treatment delay and
misdiagnosis
Most common misdiagnoses
Intestinal disorders
Intrauterine pregnancy
![Page 8: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Threatened, incomplete AB, septic AB
Ruptured corpus luteum
Appendicitis

Adnexal torsion
Degenerative uterine leiomyoma
Endometriosis
![Page 11: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Diagnosis H&P, physical exam
Most common symptoms: abdominal pain, absence of menses, irregular vaginal bleeding
Early diagnosis is aided by a high index of suspicion
Labs
Hcg levels
progesterone
Transvaginal ultrasound
D&C
![Page 12: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
HCG levels
Normal pregnancy
Normal serum
concentrations double Q2-3
days
66% at 48 hrs
Peak at 500-100K IU/L at 8-
10 weeks gestation
Abnormal pregnancy
Abnormally low levels or slow rate of rise
Possibly normal rise of levels initially
Levels with abnormal rise or that are falling are almost certainly not viable
Location yet to be determined
Failure of 53% increase in 48 hrs is 99% sensitive of abnormal pregnancy
![Page 13: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
HCG levels Multiple pregnancy
Usual standards for singletons may not apply
HCG levels higher than normal, but still rise at normal
rate
Combined contribution of all gestations
Viable gestations
Spontaneous pregnancy reduction
Heterotopic pregnancy
![Page 14: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Progesterone Probability of viable IUP increase with serum
progesterone levels
Levels >20ng/mL almost always associated with viable
IUP
Levels <5ng/mL almost always associated with non-
viable pregnancy
50% ectopic, 20% SAB, and 70% of viable IUP fall
between 5-20ng/mL

Transvaginal Ultrasound
(discriminatory zone 1500-2000)Normal pregnancy
Gestational sac: sonolucent
center, thick echogenic ring
formed by surrounding
decidual reaction
38d post LMP

Culdocentesis Previously an integral part of diagnostic evaluation
Determined presence or absence of un-clotted blood in
peritoneal cavity
No longer routinely used with advancement of
ultrasound
![Page 19: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Dilation and Curettage Abnormal HCG levels, progesterone <5, no evidence of
gestational sac at >38 days gestational age, no IUP
seen
Frozen section is approx 93% accurate in identifying
chorionic villi
Possibly less complications and at least as cost
effective as empiric use of methotrexate
![Page 20: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Expectant management This is not simple observation alone
Close monitoring of clinical symptoms
HCG levels
Transvaginal ultrasound
Approx 25% of all ectopic pregnancies have falling HCG levels, of these 70% (approx 18% of all ectopic) will resolve spontaneously
Success is highest with no identifiable extrauterine sac and low levels of baseline HCG
Baseline level <200 and falling, 88% resolve
![Page 23: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Methotrexate:
contraindications

Immunodeficiency
Alcoholism, liver disease
Blood dyscrasias
Allergy to MTX
Active pulmonary disease
Peptic ulcer disease
Hepatic, renal or hematologic dysfunction
Relative
Gestational sac >3.5cm
Embryonic cardiac motion
![Page 24: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Methotrexate Single dose regimen (50mg/m2 IM) Day 1
Draw hcg levels on days 4 and 7
If 15% drop, continue weekly hcg draws until zero
If <15%, consider repeating MTX
Double dose regimen (50mg/m2 IM) Day 1 and 4
Draw hcg levels on days 4 and 7
If 15% drop, continue weekly hcg draws until zero
If <15% repeat MTX on days 7 and 11 with hcg levels
If <15% between 7 and 11, consider surgical management
Fixed dose regimen (1mg/kg IM) Day 1,3,5,7
Folic acid (0.1mg/kg IM) Day 2,4,6,8
Measure hcg on MTX days until 15% drop from previous measurement, then weekly

Surgical treatment Laparotomy
Laparoscopy
Salpingostomy (closed by secondary intention)
Salpingotomy (closed primarily)
Salpingectomy
Women whom desire future fertility, conservative management with linear salpingostomy is preferred (ampullary ectopic pregnancy)
![Page 26: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Surgical treatment Indications for salpingectomy
Completed childbearing
Recurrent ectopic pregnancy in the same tube
Uncontrolled bleeding
Extensive tubal damage
Isthmic ectopic pregnancies are best managed with segmental excision followed by tubo-tubal reanastomosis
Fimbrial expression is not recommended due to extensive tubal trauma
![Page 27: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Results of surgical treatment Overall cumulative IUP rates are significantly higher
with salpingostomy than after salpingectomy:
incidence of recurrent ectopic pregnancy is similar
Salpingostomy is successful, no additional tx in approx
90% of women with unruptured ectopic pregnancies
![Page 28: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Persistent Ectopic Pregnancy Overall incidence of PEP is approximately 5% with
salpingostomy 2-11% after laparotomy
5-20% after laparoscopy
Less likely if pre-op hcg <3000, if pre-op hcg>3000 PEP incidence 22-42%
If POD#7 hcg levels >1000 or 15% greater than pre-op, PEP is nearly always present
Treatment Surgical: symptomatic patients
Methotrexate: asymptomatic patients
![Page 29: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Subsequent fertility Overall conception rate s/p ectopic pregnancy is 60%
1/3 of subsequent pregnancies are ectopic
pregnancies, and 1/6 are SABs
Subsequent fertility rate is higher in multiparous
women, and those with un-ruptured tubal pregnancies,
those with no history of infertility or salpingitis
![Page 30: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Now, the weird stuff
![Page 31: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Abdominal pregnancy Estimated incidence of 1/10,000 pregnancies and
1/100 ectopic pregnancies
Associated with highest mortality rate of all ectopic
pregnancies
Primary implantation or secondary from re-implantation
of partial tubal abortion
Most frequent physical findings are abdominal
tenderness, abnormal fetal lie, and displaced uterine
cervix

Interstitial Pregnancy <2% of ectopic pregnancies
Eccentric gestational sac or
heterogenous mass
Abnormal thinning of
myometrial mantle
Abnormally prominent
interstitial tubal segment
Treatment is generally
surgical
![Page 35: Ectopic pregnancy - wesley ob/gyn preg… · We’ve come a long way Ectopic pregnancy was first described in the 11th century , and was often fatal Viewed as the consequence of violent](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac6153a628e62cf518e7a0/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

pregnancy
1/7000 pregnancies, higher with IVF
90% with ectopic implantation in fallopian tube
Often missed due to IUP seen on sono, with normally rising HCG levles
