Antecedentes: El embarazo ectópico (EE) es una de las principales causa de muerte materna durante el primer trimestre del embarazo. En las últimas décadas se registra un aumento de su incidencia. Objetivo: Establecer los factores de riesgo asociados a esta patología, en una población de mujeres chilenas. Método: Se estudió a 50 mujeres con EE y se compararon con 100 puérperas en el mismo período. Resultados: Los factores de riesgo significativos para EE fueron: antecedentes de cirugía ginecológica, antecedentes de cirugía abdominal, antecedente de DIU al momento de la concepción, número de parejas sexuales, consumo de alcohol. Conclusión: Los factores de riesgo para EE en una población chilena son similares a los descritos en la literatura internacional; se enfatiza la importancia de la derivación precoz para evitar en la mujer daños físicos y psicológicos. PALABRAS CLAVES: Embarazo ectópico, factores de riesgo SUMMARY Background: The ectopic pregnancy (EP) is one of the most important causes of maternal death during the first quarter of pregnancy. During the last decades the incidence rates have increased. Objective: This study intends to establish the risk factors associated with this pathology, within a population of chilean women. Method: 50 ectopic pregnancy women were studied, and were compared to 100 puerperal women during the same period of time. Results: The significant risk factors for EP were: antecedents of gynecological and abdominal surgeries, antecedent of IUD during conception, number of sexual couples, alcohol consumption. Conclusion: The risk factors for EP in a chilean population are similar to those described in the international literature; is emphasized the importance of the early derivation to avoid in the women physics and psychological damage.

Irregular vaginal bleeding is a common symptom of women seeking gynecologic care. Etiologies of irregular vaginal bleeding can be classified into the following categories: pregnancy related (retained products of conception, threatened or missed abortion, or ectopic pregnancy), hormonal (disorders of ovulation, menopause, or hormonal contraceptive use), structural (polyps, myomas, or arteriovenous malformation), neoplasm (endometrial cancer), and infection (endometritis). After the history and physical examination, the initial evaluation of irregular vaginal bleeding has traditionally involved an endometrial biopsy. Transvaginal ultrasound has revolutionized the evaluation of the gynecologic ultrasound examination by providing a minimally invasive means to determine the etiology for the bleeding. Transvaginal ultrasound assessment of the endometrial cavity allows treatment to be tailored to the specific cause of irregular vaginal bleeding, thus saving women time, money, and exposure to unnecessary interventions. The purpose of this article is to give the clinician critical information regarding the capabilities of ultrasound to evaluate women with irregular vaginal bleeding.

“…Examples of high‐risk OB triage activities include evaluation for bleeding or abdominal trauma (7,8), whereas high‐volume activities may include evaluation for labor. Problem‐prone activities include evaluation of fetal well‐being, abdominal pain, preterm labor, and maternal hypertension (9–12).…”
