A 20 yo G1P0
at 6wk1day by LMP presented with vaginal bleeding. She had onset of bleeding 1 hour prior to
arrival, soaked through 1 pad. She was
seen at her OB earlier that day (prior to onset of bleeding) and had an US
which showed +FHR. Transabdominal and transvaginal
ultrasound showed an IUP with +FHR of 120 BPM (image below). Her beta hCG was 72,813 and she was Rh+. Hypoechoic material was seen surrounding the
gestational sac, consistent with subchorionic bleeding. The patient was given return precautions and
instructed to follow-up with her OB in 48 hours. You wonder if should have given any specific precautions regarding subchorionic hematoma?

FOAMed Digest #6 Update: The Paper Trail
Today, we'd like to introduce a new section to the Everyday EBM FOAMed Digest, which will be published as a standalone post. It may seem a bit counterintuitive, but each week we're going to draw your attention to some of the latest-and-greatest papers from the primary EM literature. Most of these will not be open-access, but we hope you can still access them via the medical library at your institution. A lot of the discussion in the FOAMed world centers around recently-published papers from EM journals. The EM trainee should view FOAMed as a tool to assist with understanding and analysis of this literature, as a forum for discussion and further discovery -- not as a replacement for reading the papers for his/her self. We'll provide you a very short summary here and link you to relevant FOAMed resources if applicable.
