The assessment and management of critically injured pregnant trauma patients represents a high-risk, low-frequency event. One in every 12 pregnant patients experience physical trauma during their pregnancy, but only 0.1% experience major trauma with an injury severity score (ISS) greater than fifteen. It is crucial that emergency medical services (EMS) clinicians understand the anatomic and pathophysiologic changes that impact morbidity and mortality for pregnant trauma patients so they can effectively provide life-saving interventions and resuscitation for this patient population.
