Trauma in the Pregnant Patient

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Trauma is the leading cause of non-pregnancy-related maternal death in the United States. Despite advances in treatment maternal and fetal outcomes are often poor. Women of childbearing age sustaining traumatic injury should be evaluated for possible pregnancy. Physiologic changes of pregnancy influence the evaluation and management of trauma. Medical treatment should be guided by maternal needs in order to optimize maternal and fetal outcomes. Maternal cardiac arrest should prompt consideration of emergent cesarean section. Anesthesiologists play a critical role in integrating the physiology of pregnancy with life support and trauma protocols and can help reduce morbidity and mortality.
