Major burn injury in pregnancy requires modified treatment due to physiologic changes. Multidisciplinary care ensures optimal outcomes for both mother and neonate during this critical period.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Major burn injuries during pregnancy present unique management challenges.
  • Gestational physiologic changes necessitate modifications in standard treatment protocols.
  • Effective management requires a comprehensive understanding of maternal and fetal adaptations.

Observation:

  • A 25-year-old pregnant patient at 34 weeks gestation sustained a major burn injury.
  • Management involved ventilatory support, invasive hemodynamic monitoring, and extensive fluid resuscitation.
  • Labor was augmented, leading to a spontaneous vaginal delivery of a healthy infant.

Findings:

  • Pregnancy-induced physiological alterations significantly impact airway management and hemodynamic support in burned patients.
