Abstract
Trauma is the leading cause of maternal death in the United States. Nurses must optimize the well-being of 2 patients in the pregnant trauma patient. Rapid assessment, initiating immediate interventions for life-threatening injuries, and transport to a trauma center are critical to optimize maternal and fetal outcome. Understanding these factors can facilitate an effective resuscitation and optimize the outcome for both mother and baby.
