Medication Management of Early Pregnancy Loss in an Urban Texas Emergency Department

The authors aimed to investigate the occurrence and outcomes of medication management for early pregnancy loss (EPL) using misoprostol in an urban Texas emergency department. They found that medication management was infrequently offered, with most patients receiving expectant management, and identified that obstetric consultation significantly increased the likelihood of patients being offered misoprostol. The study highlights potential missed opportunities for medication treatment during initial ED visits, as some patients received misoprostol during follow-up visits instead.
