2017, American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyCitation Excerpt :Aside from maternal injuries, trauma during pregnancy can cause adverse fetal outcomes including miscarriage, preterm labor, preterm premature rupture of membranes, abruption, and fetal demise.4-9 Pregnancy may increase the risk for violent trauma,4,6,10-12 which is associated with more severe injuries and worse outcomes.13 Management of trauma in a pregnant patient presents unique challenges: airway management may be complicated by increased soft-tissue edema and a heightened aspiration risk, altered hemodynamics make the interpretation of vital signs and fluid response difficult, distorted anatomy can impede surgical intervention, and more aggressive measures may be required to prevent fetal demise.3,14-16
