--case report (link in references)
--drop of blood applied to urine HCG point-of-care test
--tested positive in the unstable ruptured ectopic patient who couldn't pee just then
BOTTOM LINE:
--patient can't/won't pee, try some blood on the urine pregnancy test
--don't know if there's any potential for false +, but in a pinch with a crashing patient, might be worth a shot
