In this episode of EMERGE, I sit down with Dr. Ricky Tripp to dive deep into the challenges and best practices of managing trauma in pregnancy. As your host, I guide the conversation through the latest evidence and NAEMSP guidance, real-life stories, and practical pearls that every clinician should know when faced with these high-risk, low-frequency events.

We discuss the unique physiology of pregnancy, how to spot and manage shock, and the critical nuances of trauma assessment in pregnant patients. Dr. Tripp shares her expertise from the field, her work with AKOMA United, and her perspective as an emergency physician and EMS medical director.

I also highlight the importance of community, communication, and understanding the psychosocial factors that impact patient care. Whether you work in the field or in the hospital, this episode will help you feel more prepared and confident when caring for pregnant trauma patients. Join me for expert insights, actionable tips, and a reminder of the power of teamwork and compassion in emergency medicine.
