Abstract
TVS use requires high-level disinfection, which is resource-intensive and thus can be a barrier to care. Instead, TAS can be first-line for most women, reducing resources needed to provide medical abortion. Further research could help to establish gestational age and BMI thresholds beyond which TVS would be a more informative first test. We also need to evaluate whether additional training in using TAS would decrease additional testing.
