Abstract

Trauma is the leading cause of non-obstetric maternal death. The most frequent causes of maternal trauma are motor vehicle accidents (MVA) and domestic partner violence. Two lives are endangered simultaneously, and severe injury is associated with adverse maternal and fetal/neonatal outcomes. The current chapter will review the epidemiology of maternal trauma, the unique challenges and ethical issues likely to occur during trauma management, and the workup necessary in this clinical situation. It will also provide recommendations for management and treatment of the injured pregnant woman.
