TY - JOUR PY - 1979// TI - A case of automobile trauma during pregnancy JO - Obstetrics and gynecology A1 - Galle, P. C. A1 - Anderson, S. G. SP - 467 EP - 469 VL - 54 IS - 4 N2 - Accidental injury is an important complication of pregnancy. In North Carolina the rate of maternal deaths secondary to accidents has remained constant since 1966; however, because of a reduction in other causes, the percentage of maternal deaths due to accidents has doubled (11.4%). As a result, it is appropriate to reassess the evaluation of injuries sustained in automobile accidents. A case of automobile trauma to a pregnant woman at term is presented, and a plan of management involving fetal monitoring is recommended.
