Consider performing a RUSH exam (that is rapid ultrasound for shock and hypotension) to identify the cause. Jeff: Next up is ultrasound.

Smith comment: This patient did not have a bedside ultrasound. Had one been done, it would have shown a feature that is apparent on this ultrasound (however, this patient's LV function would not be as good as in this clip): This is recorded with the LV on the right.

So to get us all on the same page, the discriminatory zone is the b-HCG at which an IUP is expected to be seen on ultrasound. This corresponds nicely to a 2013 retrospective study demonstrating a bHCG threshold for the fetal pole to be just below 1400. For a threatened abortion, the os would be closed with an IUP seen on ultrasound.
