ABSTRACT
Pregnant patients who are involved in trauma pose a special challenge to EMS. Instead of a single patient with a normal physiological response to the injuries sustained, you have two patients with special needs depending on you: the mother and her unborn fetus. Whether the trauma is minor or severe, it will require you to understand and apply your knowledge of the pregnant patient to your assessment and emergency care.
