Pregnancy Videos
One of the more typical association with ultrasound. It focuses on the health of the fetus, often including development/growth and detecting any medical concerns or complications.Â
Measuring Fetal Heart Rate with M-Mode
Fetal heart rate can be measured using M-mode ultrasound. This video shows how this can be down and also some of the pitfalls
1st Trimester Pregnancy Case 1
In this case we review a patient who presented with vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain while pregnant in the first trimester. This video is the review of an early definitive intrauterine pregnancy (IUP). A yolk sac is visible with in the gestational sac on transvaginal ultrasound.
1st Trimester Pregnancy Case 2
In this study, the patient had an intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) at 6 weeks 1 day with a fetal heart rate (FHR) of 121 with subchorionic hemorrhage. This patient only required a transabdominal ultrasound since the findings could be docuemented with out a transvaginal ultrasound.
1st Trimester Pregnancy Case 3 - Twin Gestation 6w5d
In this case we review a patient who presented with vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain while pregnant in the first trimester. We see in this study that the patient had a twin gestation intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) at 6 weeks 5 days with subchorionic hemorrhage.
In this case we review a patient who presented with vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain while pregnant in the first trimester. We see in this study that the patient had a tubal ring that was diagnostic of an ectopic pregnancy.
1st Trimester Pregnancy Case 4 - Ectopic Pregnancy
1st Trimester Pregnancy - Case 5 - Complex Adnexal Mass
In this particular case the patient expects to be about 7 weeks pregnant but developed acute onset of pelvic pain. In the video we will see she had a complex right adnexal mass that with large amount of pelvic free fluid. These are very concerning findings in a pregnant patient and could represent a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.
Pregnancy of unknown location can be a diagnostic dilemma since this could represent a normal early pregnancy, miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy or even other pathologies. Mindful workup of these patients is necessary to not miss a life threatening ectopic pregnancy either on initial visit or when subsequent visits are needed.
