AMNİYON SIVI EMBOLİSİ: OLGU SUNUMU
Journal Title: Kocatepe Medical Journal - Year 2021, Vol 4, Issue 22
Abstract
Amnion fluid embolism (ASE) is a very rare but life - threatening clinical condition that can develop during pregnancy, during delivery or after delivery. Mortality rates are reported to reach up to 90% in some publications. The definitive diagnosis is made by the presence of amniotic fluid components in the pulmonary circulation of the mother in postmortem examination. The diagnosis can only be made by the clinical picture of the surviving patients. Our case was a healthy 21 - year-old multigravid, and a 39 - week pregnant woman who underwent cesarean section due to early membrane rupture. When respiratory failure and circulatory collapse developed near the end of the cesarean section, the patient was treated in the intensive care unit. Despite 30 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and serious complications, the patient was discharged from the hospital without any sequelae.
