AB  - Trauma  is  one  of  the  most  common  reasons  for  emergency  room  visits  during  pregnancy.  The  exact  incidence  is  unknown,  although  trauma  is  estimated  to  complicate  approximately  1  in  12  pregnancies  (Hill,  2008).  Trauma  is  also  the  leading  nonobstetric  cause  of  maternal  death.  In  some  reports,  it  accounts  for  up  to  20  percent  of  all  maternal  mortalities  (Fildes,  1992;  Kuhlmann,  1994).  As  perspective,  this  represents  a  larger  proportion  than  the  combined  mortality  rates  of  several  well-known  obstetric  causes.  Of  specific  events,  Figure  17-1  shows  the  estimated  incidences  for  several  types  of  trauma  suffered  by  gravidas  compared  with  nonpregnant  women.
