摘要
Ectopic pregnancy is on the rise and accounts for 2% of all reported pregnancies. This article introduces the reader to the complexities of the condition and explores risk factors as well as differential diagnosis and methods of treatment. The importance of early diagnosis is discussed as well as the implications of misdiagnosis. The role of the midwife/practitioner in the triage of patients with ectopic pregnancy is detailed.
