Amniotic fluid embolism is a catastrophic syndrome occurring during labor and delivery or immediately postpartum. Although presenting symptoms may vary, common clinical features include shortness of breath, altered mental status followed by sudden cardiovascular collapse, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and maternal death.

A critical review of animal and human data leads to a reassessment of traditional concepts of amniotic fluid embolism. Left ventricular failure, rather than pulmonary hypertension, is the major hemodynamic derangement consistently seen in humans. The detection of squamous cells in the pulmonary artery blood of pregnant women is not pathognomonic for ...

Amniotic fluid assessment is a tool for the evaluation of fetal well-being. Because of the uterine cavity being irregular direct evaluation is difficult and subsequently, indirect techniques have been utilized. The three ultrasound techniques currently used for the evaluation of amniotic fluid include 1) maximum vertical pocket, 2) subjective ...

AFE, although rare, remains a significant cause of maternal mortality. Even with improvements in supportive care, the prognosis remains poor for mother and fetus. The guidelines presented may help the physician to recognize this condition when it occurs and give some direction for therapy.

The concentration of amylase in amniotic fluid during the last half of pregnancy was studied. Single determinations were done in 180 patients and serial determinations in 7 patients. The results have been correlated with gestational age and fetal weight.

Amniotic fluid embolism occurs rarely but is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality in the United States. The risk of death associated with this syndrome is 60% to 80% with half of survivors suffering long-term neurologic disability. The pathophysiology of amniotic fluid embolism is poorly understood.

Bacteriology of Amniotic Fluid
Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation, 2010The incidence of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in the amniotic fluid and the cervix of 101 healthy parturients, with intact membranes, was studied. Pharynx, urine and umbilical cord of the newborns were also examined for the same pathogens. Although positive cultures from the cervix were found in 41.58% of the cases, the contamination of the amniotic ...

Abstract Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare but serious and potentially deadly complication of pregnancy that is unpreventable and unpredictable. Most AFE events occur during labor; however, approximately one third happen during the immediate postpartum period.

The mysterious environment surrounding the fetus for much of his or her life is now being explored with increasing fervor. Assessment of amniotic fluid in the early portion of pregnancy is now possible for fetal karyotype determination. This may permit early diagnosis of abnormal fetuses, increasing the options for patients.

With increasing use of amniocentesis for high-risk pregnancies, measurement of amniotic fluid hormone levels could prove to be a pratical value. Protein steroid hormones as well as prostaglandins in amniotic fluid are reviewed. The source and entry of each hormone, their concentrations, and their possible physiologic role in pregnancy are discussed ...
