However, use of ultrasonographic imaging should never preclude adequate resuscitation or definitive surgical therapy in a patient who is hemodynamically unstable and in whom ectopic pregnancy is strongly suspected. The goal of bedside ultrasonography is to diagnose an intrauterine pregnancy (IUP).

Amniotic fluid (liquor amnii) is the clear or slightly yellowish liquid surrounding the fetus in the uterus.

[2] It mainly contains water, fetal wastes (mainly urine) and fetal skin cells.
