| contents | Amniotic fluid embolism: historical perspective, pathophysiology and clinical management Ryan D. Cuff Medicina Obstetric Emergency Amniotic Fluid Embolism Critical Care in Pregnancy Anaphylactoid Syndrome of Pregnancy Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation Amniotic fluid embolism (hereafter, AFE) is a uniformly devastating event that is both un - predictable and unpreventable. Despite having been first described nearly 80 years ago, it remains a significant cause of maternal mortality worldwide. AFE is characterized by the triad of sudden hypoxia and hypotension, followed in most cases by coagulopathy. The diagnosis of AFE is clinical and prompt recognition and multi-disciplinary intervention essential. This paper seeks to review the history, pathophysiology, potential risk factors, strategies for identification and management, and outcomes of this unfortunate and storied obstetric emergency. 2016 artículo científico 2304-5124 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=323449162010 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3234 Revista Peruana de Ginecología y Obstetricia application/pdf Sociedad Peruana de Obstetricia y Ginecología Revista Peruana de Ginecología y Obstetricia (Perú) Num.4 Vol.62 |
