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.

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 ...

Seminars in Perinatology, 2008
The complex nature of amniotic fluid reflects contributions from many fetal systems, many functional roles, and multiple interactions with fetal maturation, obstetric, and maternal factors. Simple ultrasound measurement, probably done best with the maximum vertical pocket method, has a clinical role in fetal surveillance, substantiated by extensive ...

Amniotic fluid embolism is a catastrophic syndrome that occurs during pregnancy or in the immediate postpartum period. Multiple case reports have described the clinical findings and have reported variable success with supportive care. There has been discrepancy with respect to the incidence and mortality of amniotic fluid embolism.

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 ...

SUMMARYThe various ways of estimating amniotic fluid volumes during pregnancy are all based on dilution techniques involving the use of dyes, radioactive isotopes, or such inert substances as inulin or sodium aminohippurate. Much work still needs to be done to show the limits of normality of the quantity of amniotic fluid at various stages of pregnancy.

To review the recent literature on amniotic fluid embolism and how it may influence the clinical management and further study of the condition. Morbidity and mortality from amniotic fluid embolism in the international context will be described, given the recent Confidential Enquiries into Maternal Deaths in the United Kingdom and other studies.

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.
