Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Tintinalli’s Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide, 8e AB - Trauma remains the leading cause of nonobstetric morbidity and mortality in pregnant women.1 The severity of maternal injuries may be a poor predictor of fetal distress and outcome after a traumatic event (even minor ones). Trauma during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of preterm labor, placental abruption, fetomaternal hemorrhage, and pregnancy loss. Achieving successful outcomes for both mother and fetus requires a collaborative effort by the prehospital provider, emergency physician, trauma surgeon, obstetrician, and neonatologist.
