| Abstract | Heterotopic pregnancy (HP) is a rare form of pregnancy that is characterised by the coexistence of intra-uterine and extra-uterine pregnancy. The simultaneous presence of two gestational sacs is a rare event but with the advent of assisted reproductive technology, it is now an increasingly common complication. The prognosis for the extra-uterine foetus is very poor, having an estimated 90%–95% mortality rates. The mortality rate for the intra-uterine pregnancy is approximately 35%. Nurses have a challenging role to play in the management of women during acute and rehabilitative phase when HP occurs. For a comprehensive understanding of the disease condition, the definition, incidence, causes, clinical manifestation diagnostic criteria and management along with case report focusing on nursing management are presented in this article. |
