First Trimester Ultrasound Evaluation
For Practice Accreditation Purposes: First Trimester Scan must be have a transvaginal component.
Transabdominal Transavaginal

First Trimester Ultrasound Evaluation
• Presence, size, location and number of gestational sacs. • Gestational sac examined for presence of yolk sac and embryo/fetus. • When an embryo is detected it should be measured and cardiac activity recorded by 2D videoclip or M-mode. • Uterus, cervix, adnexa and cul-de-sac region should be examined.
For Practice Accreditation Purposes: First Trimester Scan must have an embryo and cardiac activity.

Presence, Size, Location and Number of gestational sac(s)
Definitive diagnosis of an IUP when a yolk sac or embryo/fetus with cardiac activity is visualized.

Presence, Size, Location and Number of gestational sac(s)
A small, eccentric intrauterine fluid collection with an echogenic rim can be seen before the ys and embryo in a very early IUP and are
highly likely to represent an IUP. ** Caution

Prior to the identification of an embryo, the mean sac diameter (MSD) may be recorded. Note that the measurement does not
include the echogenic rim of tissue.

The presence or absence of CARDIAC ACTIVITY should be recorded. This may be done by direct visualization,
M-mode or recording a ‘clip’ of the cardiac activity.
Doppler should NOT be used in the first trimester unless clinically indicated.

FH usually seen with CRL > 2 mm; If an embryo is < 7 mm , without cardiac activity, a subsequent scan in one week is recommended to ensure that the pregnancy is nonviable.

Head circumference is measured around the outer perimeter of the skull at the same level as the BPD.
Variation in head shape (dolicho- or brachy-) may make HC more reliable than BPD for estimating GA.
