FORWORD
We as nurses has a very huge responsibility to care for the patients that are sick and
very ill. It is our responsibility to take good care of the patient and ensure their
safety. The environment that we are working on requires us to be quick, ready at all
cost, with hands that are gentle, all while maintaining a genuine concern about what
we do to our patients. In this case the 36 years old G6P4 diagnosed Ectopic
pregnancy. The emphasis of this study is on statistics, studies, and books produced
and published by a variety of medical experts.
The discussions in this study have shown that it would aid in the knowledge and
understanding to my co-nursing student as well as future researchers who will do
the same study.

INTRODUCTION
Normal pregnancies develop inside the uterus, after a fertilized egg travels through the fallopian tube and
attaches to the uterine lining. Ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilized egg attaches somewhere else in the belly,
usually in the fallopian tube that’s why it’s sometimes called “tubal pregnancy.” Ectopic pregnancies can also
happen on the ovary, or somewhere else in the belly. This condition are rare and it happens in about 2 out of
every 100 pregnancies. But they’re very dangerous if not treated. Fallopian tubes can break if stretched too
much by the growing pregnancy this is sometimes called a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. This can cause internal
bleeding, infection, and in some cases lead to death. However, most people who have an ectopic pregnancy can
have healthy pregnancies in the future, depending on the treatment that they had and the condition of their
fallopian tubes. If one of their fallopian tubes was removed or they tubes are scarred, it may be more difficult to
get pregnant. If they have an ectopic pregnancy, they are more likely to get another one in the future.

LABORATORY/DIAGNOSTIC
RESULTS
There are several local factors, such as toxic, infectious, immunologic, and hormonal, that can induce
inflammation. There is upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines following tubal damage; this
subsequently promotes embryo implantation, invasion, and angiogenesis within the fallopian
tube. Chlamydia trachomatis infection results in the production of interleukin 1 by tubal epithelial cells;
this happens to be a vital indicator for embryo implantation within the endometrium Interleukin 1 also
has a role in downstream neutrophil recruitment which would further contribute to fallopian tubal
damage. Cilia beat frequency is negatively affected by smoking and infection. Hormonal variations
throughout the menstrual cycle additionally have demonstrated effects on cilia beat frequency.
Ectopic implantation can occur in the cervix, uterine cornea, myometrium, ovaries, abdominal cavity,
etc. Women with tubal ligation or other post-surgical alterations to their fallopian tubes are at risk for
ectopic pregnancies as the native function of the fallopian tube would be altered. The patient additionally
can have an ectopic pregnancy with a concurrent intrauterine pregnancy, as known as a heterotopic
pregnancy.
COLLEGE OF NURSING

Symptoms of ectopic pregnancy often begin with those typical of pregnancy, such
as breast tenderness, missed menstrual period, and nausea. As the condition
progresses, many women experience lower back pain, lower abdominal pain, cramping
on one side of the pelvic area, or light vaginal bleeding. If the tissue surrounding the
abnormally implanted ovum ruptures, internal bleeding may become severe. Pooling
of blood in the abdomen can place pressure on the rectum or on certain nerves,
producing symptoms such as shoulder pain and sharp abdominal pain. Bleeding is
accompanied by light-headedness and fainting, which may be followed by shock. As
the blood supply supporting the ovum decreases, hormonal support for the pregnancy
declines, and the decidua (endometrial tissue modified for pregnancy) begins
to slough off and is excreted vaginally. The embryo, however, remains and frequently
must be removed by surgery. Treatment with the drug methotrexate may be effective in
less-severe cases or for cases that are detected early.

Tubal pregnancy
in which the ovum becomes implanted in one of
the fallopian tubes, may be brought about by factors that
interfere with the propulsion of the fertilized ovum from the
fallopian tube toward the uterine cavity.
Examples include inflammation of the fallopian tube,
developmental malformation of the sacs within its canal, or
kinking of the tube. If transport to the uterus is sufficiently
delayed, the ovum becomes too large for easy passage and
becomes imbedded in the wall of the fallopian tubule.
Depending on the part of the tube in which the ovum has
become implanted, the tubal pregnancy can abort, through
tubal rupture, any time from 6 to 18 weeks after cessation of
menstrual periods (on occasion there will be no history of
missed periods). Surgical exploration of the abdomen and
removal of the affected tube and replacement of lost blood
may be essential to prevent death.

MEDICAL MANAGEMENT
TREATMENT:
Outside of the uterus, a fertilized egg cannot develop properly. The ectopic tissue must be removed to avoid life-threatening consequences.
This may be accomplished by the medication, laparoscopic surgery, or abdominal surgery, depending on your symptoms and when the
ectopic pregnancy is detected.
Explore Laparoscopy- is a procedure that opens up the abdomen. This procedure is performed to determine the origin of symptoms ( such as
abdominal discomfort or bleeding) that testing has not been able to identify. It is also used when an abdominal injury necessitates immediate
medical attention. One major cut is used in this procedure (incision).
Bilateral Salpingectomy - is a surgical operation in which both Fallopian tubes are removed. Women who have undergone this treatment are
no longer able to conceive naturally. Some women choose this treatment for long-term birth control. In vitro fertilization, on the other
hand, can still result in pregnancy.

PROGNOSIS
The mother with the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy can be safely treated as they could
seek medical attention and not wait for the condition to worsen. Quick treatment for an
ectopic pregnancy is important to protect the mother’s life. Most women who
experience ectopic pregnancy and treatment will achieve a successful pregnancy in the
future, even if they’ve lost one fallopian tube as part of the therapy.
After applying nursing interventions, giving the right medications, and health teaching
to the mother, the mother was stable and the general condition of the mother was good
with clear laboratory results and have stable vital signs; T= 36.6˚C, PR= 52bpm, RR=
19 cpm, O2S= 98%.
Clear laboratory result is included also as evidence to a stable and general good
condition of the patient.
