AMNION FLUID EMBOLISM

Amnion fluid embolism syndrome (AFE) is one of the most deadly complications related to pregnancy. It is a very rare complication,
Its incidence has been reported to be 1 in 100,000. As a result of amniotic fluid passing through the placenta area or uterine veins into the maternal circulation, embolism occurs. In this case, epithelial cells and lanugo hairs of the fetus can be seen in the mother's pulmonary veins. Hypotension, hypoxia, dyspnea, cyanosis develop. It results in high maternal mortality (around 80%).
It can occur during pregnancy and shortly after birth.
Risk factors:
- Advanced maternal age
- Multiparite
- Preeclampsia, eclampsia
- Cesarean
- Forceps and vacuum application
- Fast delivery
- Placenta previa
- Detachment placenta
- Dead baby
- Uterine rupture
- Cervical laceration
- Trauma to the womb
- Birth induction (controversial research available)
- Polyhydramnios

It is a condition that requires intensive care treatment. When the amniotic fluid passes into the mother's circulation, it often causes cardiogenic shock, hypotension, respiratory arrest, hypoxemia and DIC. Tonic clonic seizures may accompany.
