Case Presentation
A woman is 34 weeks pregnant and is complaining of
severe abdominal pain. She is lying supine on the
snow with both knees flexed. She is awake and
oriented. A ski school instructor is present and
witnessed the patient fall onto her left side, striking
her abdomen. Her abdominal pain as “sharp” and
“all over”, unlike the labor contractions she had with
her first delivery. She does not feel any leakage of
fluid and denies feeling lightheaded. This is her
second pregnancy and she states it has been
uncomplicated to date. continued

Case Presentation
She denies any injury other than to her abdomen. As
you assess the patient, you notice that her radial
pulse is quite weak and seems faster than normal.

Case Update
Recognizing that this 34-week pregnant woman has
sustained blunt abdominal trauma, you assess the
patient looking for additional trauma. You note that
the patient’s abdomen is diffusely tender. The uterus
rises to about 5 finger breaths above the umbilicus
and is very firm to touch. You assist in positioning the
patient onto her left side and obtain vital signs. The
blood pressure is 90/60; pulse 110 and respirations
are 20 and shallow.

Case Disposition
After placing your patient on her left side, her pulse
rate remains at 110 but is much stronger, and a
repeat blood pressure is now 105/70. She continues
to complain of severe abdominal pain and
reassessment shows her uterus to be continuously
firm. You place the patient on high-flow oxygen by
non-rebreather mask while arranging emergency
transportation to the hospital. She is transported by
toboggan lying on her left side to the patrol facility
where an ALS ambulance crew is awaiting her
arrival.

Chapter Summary
Gynecologic emergencies are related to a
woman’s reproductive organs.
Always consider the possibility of
pregnancy in a female of reproductive age.
The goals for managing OB/GYN
emergencies are rapid identification of a
