The Pregnant Trauma The Pregnant Trauma PatientPatient
Two patients with separate needs
» Mother » Fetus
Twin goals of management» Support mother» Identify needs of the fetus

Physiologic Changes Physiologic Changes of Pregnancyof Pregnancy
Changes related to gestational age Major shift of circulatory system
to provide blood flow to uterus Mother at more risk
» Increased risk of injury» Less able to compensate for shock

trauma in pregnancy 19-5
Cardiopulmonary Cardiopulmonary ChangesChanges
Cardiac output increases by 20-30%. Pulse increases by 10-15 beats/minute. BP decreases by 10-15mmHg. Increased resting respiratory rate. Elevation of diaphragm by uterus
decreases thoracic volume.
![Page 6: 19 - Trauma in Pregancy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051705/577cc74b1a28aba711a09162/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
trauma in pregnancy 19-6
Systemic Blood Systemic Blood VolumeVolume
Increased plasma volume. Increased red cell volume. Blood volume increases 45-50%. “Anemia of pregnancy”
» Rise in plasma volume is greater than the rise in red cell volume.
» Results in a “relative” anemia.

trauma in pregnancy 19-7
AbdomenAbdomen Delayed gastric emptying.
» Increased risk of vomiting and aspiration
Uterus becomes the largest abdominal organ.
» More likely to be injured from either blunt or penetrating trauma
![Page 8: 19 - Trauma in Pregancy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051705/577cc74b1a28aba711a09162/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
trauma in pregnancy 19-8
Urinary System Urinary System ChangesChanges
Bladder is displaced upward and forward by enlarging uterus.
Increased risk of bladder injury from blunt or penetrating trauma.

trauma in pregnancy 19-9
Changes in the UterusChanges in the Uterus Uterine blood flow increases.
» Nonpregnant = 2% cardiac output» Pregnant = 20% cardiac output
Uterine vessels constrict in response to catecholamine release in early shock.
» 20-30% decrease in uterine blood flow» Risk fetal hypoxia and death

Supine Hypotension Supine Hypotension SyndromeSyndrome
The enlarging uterus can compress the inferior vena cava when the mother is in the supine position.
» Reduces venous return and cardiac output by up to 30%
» More likely after the 20th week of pregnancy
![Page 13: 19 - Trauma in Pregancy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051705/577cc74b1a28aba711a09162/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Compression of the Compression of the vena cava can cause:vena cava can cause:
Maternal hypotension
Syncope Fetal
bradycardia

Packaging of Pregnant Packaging of Pregnant Trauma PatientsTrauma Patients
Spinal motion restriction. Tilt backboard 20-30 degrees to
the left. May manually displace the uterus
to the left but not as effective. Short backboards and similar
devices are not useful because of difficulty attaching straps.

Packaging of Pregnant Packaging of Pregnant Trauma PatientsTrauma Patients
The vacuum backboard is the most secure (and comfortable) device to restrict spinal movement in the pregnant patient.

AssessmentAssessment Assessment sequence same as for
nonpregnant patients» BTLS Primary Survey
Initial Assessment Rapid Trauma Survey or Focused Exam
» Ongoing Exam Use Doppler (if available) to monitor fetal heart
tones» Detailed Exam
Priorities same as for nonpregnant patients

Do not confuse normal Do not confuse normal vital signs in pregnancy vital signs in pregnancy for signs of shock.for signs of shock.
Pulse is 10-15 beats/min faster. BP is 10-15mmHg lower.

Shock in PregnancyShock in Pregnancy Can lose 30% of blood volume
before having significant change in BP.
Can have significant occult intrauterine or abdominal bleeding.
» Uterus is very vascular.» May not have abdominal tenderness early
even with significant bleeding.
![Page 19: 19 - Trauma in Pregancy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051705/577cc74b1a28aba711a09162/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

ManagementManagement 100% oxygen.
» Very important.» You are treating the fetus also.
Transport with full spinal packaging.
» Tilt backboard to the left if uterus is to the umbilicus. Secure backboard so it does not flip over
onto the floor. Treat specific injuries.
![Page 20: 19 - Trauma in Pregancy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051705/577cc74b1a28aba711a09162/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Management of ShockManagement of Shock IV access:
» Two large bore IVs of NS or RL. May require larger volume of
fluids for resuscitation.» Blood should be given early.
If PASG is indicated, inflate leg compartments only.

Maternal Cardiac ArrestMaternal Cardiac Arrest Manage same as the
nonpregnant patient. Perform CPR. Notify hospital to be prepared
for possible emergency c-section.

SummarySummary Treating two patients. Physiologic changes increase the
risk of injury and shock. Treat shock early. Prevent and treat hypoxia. Prevent supine hypotension
syndrome. Frequent reassessment.
