Ectopic Pregnancies

Background: Ectopic pregnancy is a global problem and is the most common life-threatening emergency in early pregnancy leading to significant morbidity and fetal loss. It occurs in variable presentations. The rate of ectopic pregnancies has increased from 0.5% in 1970 to 2% today. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence, clinical presentation, risk factors, treatment, and morbidity and mortality associated with ectopic pregnancy.Methods: The present retrospective study was conducted over a period of three years in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at SMS and R, Greater Noida, UP from Feb 2014 to Jan 2017.A total of 80 patients with ectopic pregnancy were analyzed regarding clinical presentation, risk factors, operative findings and treatment modality.Results: Total number of 80 cases of ectopic pregnancies were admitted during this period against 2645 deliveries representing frequency of 3%. Majority of cases (43.75%) were in the age group of 25-29 years and 41.25% were gravida 4 and above. Risk factors were identifiable in 66.25% of cases. Previous abortion was the most common risk factor (31.25%). The classical triad of amenorrhea, pain abdomen and vaginal bleeding was present in 71.25% of cases. More than half of case (55%) had ruptured tubal pregnancy on admission. Unruptured tubal pregnancy was seen in 10% case. Interestingly we found one rare case of bilateral ectopic pregnancy. Salpingectomy by open method was the mainstay of treatment (86.25%).Conclusions: Ectopic pregnancy is still a major challenge in gynecological practice. In our country most of the cases present late after tubal rupture requiring radical surgical treatment. Early diagnosis and timely intervention in the form of medical treatment or conservative surgery not only reduces maternal morbidity but also preserves future fertility.

Background: Ectopic pregnancy is one of the most important causes of maternal mortality and morbidity in the first trimester of pregnancy. Objective of this study was to compare the safety, feasibility and advantage of laparoscopic approach with that of laparotomy in management of ectopic pregnancy.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at two tertiary hospitals over a period of two years i.e.; from Aug 2015 to July 2017. Seventy-five patients who had histopathology confirmed tubal ectopic pregnancy were divided into two groups; laparoscopy (Group I, no-39) and laparotomy (Group II no-36). The main outcome measures were operative time, blood loss, and requirement of blood transfusion, requirement of analgesia and duration of hospital stay.Results: Seventy-five patients of ectopic pregnancy who were managed surgically were studied. There were 39 cases in laparoscopy group and 36 cases in laparotomy group. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy was 1.56% (out of all deliveries over 2 years). Ampullary region was the commonest site of ectopic pregnancy (74.6%). No difference was found in the two groups regarding age, site of tubal pregnancy, pre op Hb status and haemoperitoneum. Mean operating time was significantly shorter in the laparoscopy group 39 min (range 30 - 52 min) versus 50 min (range 40-60 min) in the laparotomy group. There was no difference between the groups regarding the treatment with blood products and perioperative complications. Hospital stay was significantly longer in the laparotomy group (3.5 days) as compared to 2 days in laparoscopy group. The duration of post op analgesia requirement was also longer in laparotomy group (4 days) as compared to 2 days in laparoscopy group.Conclusions: Laparoscopic management of ectopic pregnancy is a safe, effective and beneficial option in the hands of an experienced laparoscopic surgeon even in cases of massive haemoperitoneum. It definitely offers the advantage of shorter duration of surgery, faster post op recovery, shorter duration of hospital stays and lesser requirement of post op analgesia.

Background: Ectopic pregnancy is a life threatening condition in the first trimester of pregnancy. Diagnosis can be done by clinical examination, serum β-HCG and ultrasonography. This retrospective study was done to know the incidence, risk factors, and management of ectopic pregnancy.Methods: It was a retrospective study conducted on 75 patients of ectopic pregnancy admitted at tertiary care hospital in Haryana from February-2017 to January-2019. Data collected from record room and analysis done.Results: Total deliveries were conducted were 5064. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy was 1.48%, majority of the women were in the age group of 21-30 (68%), multi-parous (77.32%). The most common risk factor was abortion 33.33%, f/b tubal ligation was 13.13%, medical management of ectopic pregnancy done in 30.66%, 8% were managed by laproscopically and 58.66% by laparotomy.Conclusions: Safe sexual practices can reduce pelvic infections and ectopic pregnancy incidences. Early diagnosis before tubal rupture can reduce morbidity and mortality in ectopic pregnancy.

A retrospective study was carried out to determine the recent epidemiology of ectopic pregnancy in England between the biennial years 1988/9 and 1992/3. The number of ectopic pregnancy cases were combined with numbers of conceptions and the rates analysed for trend over time. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy rose significantly (P=0·05) over this period. However, this could be entirely explained by increasing numbers of births in older women and a highly significant positive association was found between risk of ectopic pregnancy and maternal age (P<0·0001). Over the study period the incidence of ectopic pregnancy in women aged 40 years or more was over 14 times that observed in those under 16 years of age. It is suggested that this reflects cumulative risk of acquiring pelvic inflammatory disease. The surveillance of ectopic pregnancy provides a useful indicator of the level of reproductive morbidity in women.

AbstractCases of canine poisoning pose a great challenge to pet owners and veterinarians due to incomplete patient history, late/delayed presentation of pets and the large array of poisonous agents. A ten-year retrospective study on canine poisoning cases presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Abeokuta, Nigeria was conducted. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize animal signalment, mode, month and year of exposure, severity, treatment and outcome. Associations between explanatory demographic characteristics of patients (age, sex and breed) with poison type and route of exposure were determined using a binary logistic regression model. Fifty-two case records with poisoning history and complete data were reviewed. The study population consisted of twenty males and thirty-two females between two months and five years of age. Poisonous agents that were identified included insecticides/acaricides (83%), cleaning products (2%), rodenticides (4%) and snake venom (6%). Poisoning occurred more in Alsatians, especially during the rainy season. No association between the dog demographics with type of poisoning and route of exposure was observed (p>0.05). There were 4 fatalities and 48 recoveries. This study highlights the heterogeneity of poisonous agents, associated clinical signs, treatment and outcome, and the challenges involved in poison control. Standardized approaches for the collection, assessment, integration of poisoning data and risk management is needed.
