Abstract:
Trauma-informed care continues to follow the 4R principles (realize the widespread nature of trauma, recognize what unresolved trauma looks like, respond by changing practices and protocols, and resist retraumatization) but has expanded to include 6 core guiding principles that include safety, trust, peer support, mutuality, empowerment, and the understanding of an individual's cultural context. Additionally, it is now recommended that trauma-informed practices be offered as universal precautions to all individuals, regardless of trauma history, focusing on trauma prevention. Obstetric anesthesia providers play an important role in minimizing and eliminating preventable trauma and mitigating psychological harm.
