    AbstractThe care of the pregnant trauma patient provides unique challenges and holds profound implications for both fetal and maternal outcomes. The management of these patients is influenced by unique anatomic and physiologic changes, increased concern for deleterious radiation and medication exposures, and the need for multidisciplinary care.
