TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Trauma in pregnancy JO - Emergency medicine clinics of North America A1 - Sjeklocha, Lucas A1 - Downing, Jessica SP - 223 EP - 245 VL - 41 IS - 2 N2 - Trauma is the leading cause of nonobstetric maternal death. Pregnant patients have a similar spectrum of traumatic injuries with a noted increase in interpersonal violence. A structured approach to trauma evaluation and management is recommended with several guidelines expanding on ATLS principles; however, evidence is limited. Optimal management requires understanding of physiologic changes in pregnancy, a team-based approach, and preparation for interventions that may including neonatal resuscitation. The principles of trauma management are the same in pregnancy with a systematic approach and initial maternal focused resuscitation..
