Review Multicenter Study
[Acute treatment of pregnant women after severe trauma-a retrospective multicenter analysis].
For the medical team, the management of pregnant trauma patients is a particular challenge. The aim of this study is to compile this data and to determine differences between pregnant and not pregnant trauma patients. ⋯ For the first time there is data regarding incidence, trauma mechanism, prehospital and in-hospital care as well as intensive care of pregnant trauma patients in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Further research regarding foetal outcome and trauma-related injuries in pregnant women is needed to develop an adjusted management for these patients ready to implement in trauma centres. Gynaecologists and obstetricians should be implemented in the trauma room team when needed.
