Another approach, although I agree with MTX, would be D&C and a Foley balloon in the cervical canal to tamponade the bleeding.

A 34 year g3p1 came to the ER today at 8 weeks post LMP with vaginal bleeding for 3 weeks duration now with cramping. She was seen 3 weeks ago and told that she had a complete spontaneous Ab. 2 weeks ago an office scan showed a viable fetus. Today, her hemoglobin is 10.3. The cervix is closed on speculum exam. Ultrasound shows a cervical pregnancy with fetal heart activity. Embryonic length = 1.4 cm ( = 8 weeks). What is the most effective and safest way of terminating the pregnancy? ? Systemic methotrexate (mtx) with folinic acid ? Injection of mtx into sac ?Systemic mtx with KCL in the sac ?D&C with cerclage to control bleeding and or uterine artery embolization (catheters ready and in place) if necessary ?Does RU486 help? Thanks in advance for your advice. I will call Yale infertility service to get their advice as soon as the other patients stop delivering, Gary Kleinman, M.D. Bridgeport Hospital MFM/Genetics

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
