Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1996
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.

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1992
Amniotic fluid embolism is the most unpredictable and catastrophic complication of pregnancy, accounting for 10% to 20% of maternal deaths. The pulmonary edema commonly seen in this syndrome is probably due primarily to alveolar capillary leakage and may be potentiated by high maternal extracellular volume, low colloid osmotic pressure, and, in some ...

Amniotic fluid embolism is a rare occurrence, with no single pathognomonic clinical or laboratory finding. Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation and supportive laboratory values. We describe the case of a 17-year-old nulliparous woman at 27 weeks' gestation who had uterine bleeding, hematuria, hemoptysis, hypotension, dyspnea, and hypoxemia ...

Massive amniotic fluid embolism
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1984A patient at 42 weeks of pregnancy called the emergency department complaining of painful uterine contractions for six hours.

Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 1999
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.

Amniotic Fluid Embolism: Review
Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, 2014Amniotic fluid embolism is a rare but dreadful syndrome in Obstetrics, which happens, in most of the cases, in the peripartum period. The actual "embolisation" of the pulmonary vessels does not explain the whole picture of the syndrome. An immune mechanism, similar to an anaphylactic reaction, is more convincingly the background of the event, but the ...

Presumed antepartum amniotic fluid embolism
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2003Amniotic fluid embolism is seldom recognized in nonperipartum patients. The pathophysiology is uncertain and diagnosis imprecise, making management after stabilization difficult.A 37-year-old woman at 28 weeks' gestation presented with signs and symptoms consistent with amniotic fluid embolism including disseminated intravascular coagulopathy.
