Abstract
Ectopic pregnancy occurs at a rate of 19.7 cases per 1,000 pregnancies in North America and is a leading cause of maternal mortality in the first trimester. Traditionally, cart-based ultrasounds (CBU) are used to evaluate for evidence of ectopic pregnancies in emergency settings. Handheld ultrasounds (HHU) have become more widespread in recent years, but their ability to detect intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) compared to traditional cart-based machines is unknown. We aim to compare the accuracy of HHU to CBU for the identification and location of early pregnancy in emergency department (ED) patients.
