“…The capacity of the actively immunized to respond to a recall dose of tetanus toxoid is retained for at least 20 years (28). Although anamnesis has been found to last longer than 20 years in some individuals (5,7,20), apparent failures (18, 30) after this lapse of time indicate that it may not be lifelong in every case.…”

A study of the rise and fall in circulating tetanus antitoxin in a group of 15 adults after basic and booster immunization indicates that although individuals vary greatly in their responsiveness to toxoid, the falloff in antitoxin appears to be fractionally constant for each individual, and over periods of 5 to 6 years appears to be the same after successive doses. The low level of antitoxin noted in some individuals after basic immunization with a plain toxoid preparation cannot always be rectified by the use of an adsorbed toxoid as a booster. Results indicate that routine boosters need not be administered more frequently than every 10 to 20 years, provided an adsorbed toxoid has been used to initiate active immunization.

Trauma is a major cause of maternal death in pregnancy. The pregnant woman who has been involved in an episode leading to her arrival in an accident and emergency department presents with specific problems that often require specialist attention. The correct initial management of such patients should not be beyond the capabilities of an average trauma team and such management is clearly taught as part of the Advanced Trauma Life Support course now available in the UK. This review outlines the physiological changes associated with pregnancy that become important during resuscitation and definitive care. It discusses the presentation and management of specific problems, and the safety--or otherwise--of commonly administered drugs. Only the initial resuscitation of the patient is considered; specialist obstetric care is beyond the scope of the article.
