Summary
The pregnant patient represents a double resuscitation, as there are two patients to simultaneously consider. Fetal resuscitation is dependent upon adequate maternal resuscitation and stability and ongoing monitoring of both patients is essential for optimal outcomes. The pregnant trauma patient poses additional challenges because the anatomy and physiology are different from the nonpregnant patient, and this affects the physical exam, the clinical presentation, and the management of the patient.
