Course Description
Trauma in pregnancy has a wide spectrum, ranging from mild to major. Trauma in pregnancy has dramatically increased in the past 25 years and is now the number one cause of non-obstetrical maternal death in the United States. Major trauma is affecting 7% of all pregnancies mostly in the third trimester and has been associated with 80% of fetal mortality. Motor vehicle crashes are responsible for 50% of cases and falls due to instability are representing 22 % all of injuries in pregnant patients. Most trauma could be accidental or unintentional and T the rates of intimate partner violence or assaults during pregnancy account for only 2 to 3 percent of total traumas in pregnancy. And the fetus also can be exposed to potential injury. With the knowledge of maternal physiology and potential pregnancy-related injury patterns, the health care workers will be better equipped to manage them, thus resulting in reduced morbidity and mortality. For this purpose in the light of the literature of obstetric trauma, the key factors for understanding the pathological impact in pregnant patients and the evidence-based management recommendations will be explained during this course.
