lüll Amniotic fluid embolism Green BT; Umana ESouth Med J 2000[Jul]; 93 (7): 721-3Amniotic 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 within 30 minutes of vaginal delivery. Laboratory values revealed diffuse intravascular coagulation. Chest films were consistent with adult respiratory distress syndrome. Pulmonary artery catheterization revealed moderately increased pulmonary capillary wedge pressure. Supportive measures, including oxygenation, fluid resuscitation, and plasma, were administered. Central hemodynamic monitoring and inotropic support were necessary. Our patient recovered uneventfully and 6 weeks later was living an unrestricted life-style.|Adolescent[MESH]|Delivery, Obstetric[MESH]|Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation/etiology[MESH]|Dyspnea/etiology[MESH]|Embolism, Amniotic Fluid/complications/*diagnosis[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Follow-Up Studies[MESH]|Hematuria/etiology[MESH]|Hemoptysis/etiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hypotension/etiology[MESH]|Hypoxia/etiology[MESH]|Infant, Newborn[MESH]|Infant, Premature[MESH]|Pregnancy[MESH]|Pulmonary Edema/etiology[MESH]|Respiratory Distress Syndrome/etiology[MESH]|Uterine Hemorrhage/etiology[MESH] |
