    Introduction

    The BSN students were given theopportunity to have a hospital exposureat Ospital ng Cabuyao; and on thatday found a commendable case

    reasonable to be presented for casestudy. The patient, to be mentioned inthis paper as Patient X, housewife,G2P1 (T1-P0-A0-L1), was one of the patients admitted to the EmergencyRoom. She was 34 years of age. HerLMP is July 30, 2012. She wasadmitted due to ectopic pregnancy.

    An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the baby starts todevelop outside the womb (uterus). The most common site for anectopic pregnancy is within one of the tubes through which the eggpasses from the ovary to the uterus (fallopian tube). However, in rarecases, ectopic pregnancies can occur in the ovary, stomach area, orcervix. Ectopic Pregnancy occurs in about 1 in 250 pregnanciesamounting to approximately 70 000 cases annually, 5,833 per month,1,346 per week, 191 per day, 7 per hour. In the Philippines,unpublished reports have estimated the incidence to be just about 22,

    194 each year.An ectopic pregnancy is commonly referred to as a tubal

    pregnancy because 95 percent occur in a fallopian tube. An ectopicpregnancy needs to be treated immediately to avoid fallopian tubedamage or life threatening blood loss. When identified early, ectopicpregnancies are treatable with medication that stops the pregnancy.If the pregnancy is further along, laparoscopy is usually performedto remove the ectopic tissue and repair the fallopian tube. Currently,laparotomy is the preferred technique when the patient ishemodynamically unstable, the surgeon has not been trained inlaparoscopy, physical facilities and supplies to perform laparoscopic

    surgery are lacking or technical barriers to laparoscopy are present.

    Currently, laparotomy is the preferred techniquewhen the patient is hemodynamically unstable, the surgeonhas not been trained in laparoscopy, physical facilities andsupplies to perform laparoscopic surgery are lacking ortechnical barriers to laparoscopy are present.

    If the ectopic pregnancy has ruptured or bleedingpersists, salpingectomy is a very common option. Thisprocedure involves excision of segment of the Fallopian

    tube involved in the ectopic pregnancy. The tubal segment tobe removed is coagulated and cut off with bipolarforceps.The group chose J.S. as their subject primarilybecause her case posed as a very intricate case requiringdue understanding and knowledge. The group recognizestheir partial knowledge about ectopic pregnancy and thesurgical procedures involved in such condition, thus makingthis case a good avenue to broaden the proponentsknowledge about the disease and the surgical proceduresinvolved.

    The first warning signs of an ectopic pregnancyare often pain or vaginal bleeding. You might feelpain in your pelvis, abdomen, or, in extreme cases,even your shoulder or neck (if blood from aruptured ectopic pregnancy builds up and irritatescertain nerves). Most women describe the pain assharp and stabbing. It may concentrate on oneside of the pelvis and come and go or vary inintensity.Any of the following additional symptoms canalso suggest an ectopic pregnancy:vaginal spottingdizziness or fainting (caused by blood loss)low blood pressure (also caused by blood loss)lower back pain

    AbstractThis is a case of a patient who has been diagnosed with EctopicPregnancy. The patient was complaining from pain in right lowerquadrant of her abdomen. In an ectopic pregnancy, a fertilized egghas implanted outside the uterus. The egg settles in the fallopiantubes in more than 95% of ectopic pregnancies. This is why

    ectopic pregnancies are commonly called "tubal pregnancies." Theegg can also implant in the ovary, abdomen, or the cervix, so youmay see these referred to as cervical or abdominal pregnancies.

    None of these areas has as much space or nurturing tissue as auterus for a pregnancy to develop. As the fetus grows, it willeventually burst the organ that contains it. This can cause severe

    bleeding and endanger the mother's life. A classical ectopicpregnancy does not develop into a live birth. Ectopic pregnancy canbe difficult to diagnose because symptoms often mirror those of anormal early pregnancy. These can include missed periods, breasttenderness, nausea, vomiting, or frequent urination.
