Women frequently seek ED care for complications in early pregnancy, including loss of pregnancy. This review evaluates the current literature and discusses the care of patients experiencing loss of pregnancy in the emergency department. ⋯ Although there are multiple recommendations for the clinical management of loss of pregnancy in the emergency department, the psychological and emotional support of women was addressed infrequently. Additional studies investigating holistic care would be beneficial for ED providers in the management of early loss of pregnancy.
