Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare obstetric emergency. This report details two cases, one survivor and one fatality, highlighting AFE

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare but catastrophic obstetric emergency.
  • Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial for patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • Two cases of AFE confirmed by histological examination are presented.
  • Both patients experienced immediate post-partum hemorrhage requiring hemostatic hysterectomy.

Findings:

  • The first case presented with typical AFE symptoms and the patient survived without sequelae.
  • The second case experienced AFE post-delivery, leading to acute respiratory distress and shock syndrome, ultimately resulting in death despite interventions.

Implications:

  • These cases underscore the unpredictable and severe nature of amniotic fluid embolism.

  • Histological confirmation is vital for accurate AFE diagnosis.
  • Management strategies for AFE, including hemostatic hysterectomy, require continuous evaluation.
