Trauma in pregnancy
Summary
An exhaustive review of the care of the pregnant trauma patient would fill a book. Nevertheless, an understanding of the normal physiologic changes of pregnancy is virtually all there is to go on except in a few special situations such as listed above. Close communication with critical care, surgical and obstetrical colleagues are essential. This is certainly a clinical situation where a truly multi-disciplinary approach brings positive results. With this is mind it should be possible to confidently care for these special patients.
