Abstract

Ectopic pregnancy is one of the health emergencies that patients require the greatest promptness in care, hence the interest in studying its traits and behaviors at the Ambato General Teaching Hospital in the province of Tungurahua. In this sense, the authors present the following research objective: Describe the features that characterize the procedure in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy. In order to fulfill the objective, the study of a previous clinical case of a 38-year-old female patient from the province was presented with no previous history of pregnancies and no evidence of hereditary factors of trauma in pregnancy. Different theoretical methods were used, such as the synthetic and inductive deductive analysis, which allowed us to analyze the features and distinctive characteristics of this type of pregnancies, in addition to the structural systemic method it was possible to review the different types of treatments for these pregnancies. After performing an ultrasound and gynecological techniques, the main results were the application of a cesarean section that ended in hysterectomy.
