Anesthetic Management of a Patient With a Ruptured Heterotopic Pregnancy for Emergency Exploratory Laparotomy.

Heterotopic pregnancy (HP) is an uncommon clinical condition characterized by the coexistence of intrauterine and extra-uterine pregnancies. HP is a diagnostic challenge as the typical methods for the early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy are confounded by the simultaneous presence of intrauterine pregnancy (IUP). Ruptured HP is a potentially life-threatening obstetric emergency and can result in significant morbidity and mortality.
