Bedside sonography performed by emergency physicians is frequently utilized for real-time clinical decision-making in the emergency department (ED) setting. This includes the sonographic evaluation of pain or bleeding in the first trimester of pregnancy. The detection of intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) or life-threatening conditions, including ectopic pregnancy, is critical.<jats:italic>Objectives<\/jats:italic>. This paper will review several important pearls and avoidable pitfalls of this diagnostic modality by brief presentation of illustrative cases followed by discussion of key principles.<jats:italic>Case Reports<\/jats:italic>. Three patients evaluated in the ED for bleeding or pain occurring during the first trimester of pregnancy will be presented.<jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. When conducting emergency bedside ultrasound for the evaluation of first trimester pregnancy, it is important to avoid common pitfalls that can place your patient at risk.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/982318","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,8,12]],"date-time":"2013-08-12T21:04:43Z","timestamp":1376341483000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Pitfalls in Emergency Department Focused Bedside Sonography of First Trimester Pregnancy"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2013","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3738-7080","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Kerri","family":"Layman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, MedStar Washington Hospital Center, Georgetown University School of Medicine, Ground Floor, CCC Building, 3800 Reservoir Road, NW, Washington, DC 20007, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2376-9886","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Michael","family":"Antonis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, MedStar Washington Hospital Center, Georgetown University School of Medicine, Ground Floor, CCC Building, 3800 Reservoir Road, NW, Washington, DC 20007, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1667-5999","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jonathan E.","family":"Davis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, MedStar Washington Hospital Center, Georgetown University School of Medicine, Ground Floor, CCC Building, 3800 Reservoir Road, NW, Washington, DC 20007, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"355","DOI":"10.1017\/S1481803500011416","volume":"11","year":"2009","journal-title":"Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine"},{"issue":"3","key":"2","first-page":"155","volume":"15","year":"1998","journal-title":"Academic Emergency Medicine"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/ajem.2000.7310"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajem.2006.11.020"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0029-7844(02)02142-7"},{"issue":"4","key":"7","first-page":"547","volume":"70","year":"1987","journal-title":"Obstetrics and Gynecology"},{"issue":"2","key":"8","first-page":"156","volume":"58","year":"1981","journal-title":"Obstetrics and Gynecology"},{"issue":"3","key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"145","DOI":"10.7863\/jum.1987.6.3.145","volume":"6","year":"1987","journal-title":"Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.AOG.0000198632.15229.be"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cult.2008.07.003"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0029-7844(00)01159-5"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.2636"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.annemergmed.2010.12.023"},{"issue":"3","key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"823","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.178.3.1994425","volume":"178","year":"1991","journal-title":"Radiology"},{"issue":"8","key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"802","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1553-2712.1998.tb02507.x","volume":"5","year":"1998","journal-title":"Academic Emergency Medicine"},{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0196-0644(97)70345-7"}],"container-title":["Emergency Medicine International"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/emi\/2013\/982318.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/emi\/2013\/982318.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/emi\/2013\/982318.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,3]],"date-time":"2022-03-03T16:45:25Z","timestamp":1646325925000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/emi\/2013\/982318\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013]]},"references-count":16,"alternative-id":["982318","982318"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2013\/982318","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-2840","2090-2859"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"2090-2840"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2090-2859"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}}}
