title: [Pregnancy and trauma].
abstract: Anatomic and physiologic changes in pregnancy can mask or mimic injury, making diagnosis of trauma-related problems difficult. Care of pregnant trauma patients with severe injuries often requires a multidisciplinary approach involving an emergency clinician, trauma surgeon, obstetrician, anesthesiologist and neonatologist. The pregnant trauma patient presents a unique challenge because care must be provided for two patients--the mother and the fetus.
