<br/><br/> BACKGROUND: The Western Trauma Association has undertaken publication of best practice clinical practice guidelines on multiple trauma topics. These guidelines are based on scientific evidence, case reports and best practices per expert opinion. Some of the topics covered by this consensus group do not have the ability to have randomized controlled studies completed due to complexity, ethical issues, financial considerations or scarcity of experience. Care of the pregnant trauma patient is one of these clinically complex situations that is based on physiologic data, standard trauma care, trauma care experience and outcomes.  CONCLUSIONS: Resuscitative and trauma care of the mother is the utmost prioritySTUDY TYPEAlgorithm, expert opinion, consensus.  LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III. Copyright © 2022 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.

RESULTS: The algorithm is attached with detailed explanation of each step, supported by data if available.
