abstract="It is relatively uncommon for pregnant women to suffer multiple injuries. In such a situation, however, two lives are at stake. The survival of the foetus depends on the mother's condition with regard to respiratory passage, oxygenation, and hypovolemia. This last condition implies that the blood is shunted away from the uteroplacental circulation, thus endangering the foetus. The principles of treatment are the ones described in this series of articles, and furthermore, in addition to concern for the foetus. Blows against the abdomen can cause abruption of the placenta, which is a frequent cause of death of the foetus after closed trauma, and can occur up to 48 hours after the accident. This necessitates monitoring of the foetus during this period.<p /> <p>Language: no</p>",
