Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a catastrophic, sudden-onset event that must be recognized immediately. Despite the rarity of this condition, both maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality are significant with AFE, even in cases ideally managed. In this article, we present five key statements covering the risk factors, clinical presentation, and management of AFE in a clinical setting. The purpose of these tips is to provide clinicians with information that may improve their ability to make a timely diagnosis and establish appropriate supportive treatment to patients suffering from AFE. RésuméL’embolie amniotique est un événement catastrophique d’apparition soudaine qui doit être détecté immédiatement. Malgré la rareté de cette affection, la morbidité et la mortalité maternelles et périnatales sont importantes, même dans les cas où le traitement est idéal. Dans cet article, nous présentons cinq énoncés clés qui portent sur les facteurs de risque, le tableau clinique et la prise en charge de l’embolie amniotique dans un contexte clinique. Ces astuces visent à fournir aux cliniciens de l’information qui pourrait améliorer leur capacité à poser un diagnostic en temps opportun et à assurer un traitement de soutien approprié aux patientes atteintes d’une embolie amniotique.

Amniotic Fluid Embolism (AFE) as a devastating complication in obstetrics remains one leading causes of maternal mortality in developed country. During the process of resuscitation, there are some vital deficiencies which mainly involve neglect of high risk factors, delayed recognition of early signs and symptoms, poor knowledge about emergency resuscitation, invalid of management of heart failure, coagulopathy and multi-organ failure. This mini review mainly presented correlative high risk factors, early recognition initial signs or symptoms, and effective therapeutic measures including medicine selection of vasopressors and inotropes, application of Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS), management of consumptive coagulation, and maintenance of homeostasis.

Embolic disease during pregnancy is a significant contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality. The most common type of embolism is venous air embolism, but this is rarely symptomatic or hemodynamically significant. However, both thromboembolism and amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) are associated with significant maternal risk, and in the case of AFE, frequent major hemodynamic sequelae and fatal results ensue. As each class of embolic disease has slightly different risk factors, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and treatment, they will each be discussed in separate sections in this chapter with an overview of these components.
