Anaphylactoid Syndrome of Pregnancy
Abstract:
Anaphylactoid syndrome of pregnancy (ASP) is a widespread, proinflammatory, anaphylactic-like reaction that can occur when amniotic fluid enters the maternal blood circulation. ASP is characterized by four cardinal findings: respiratory distress, altered mental status, hypotension, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. ASP is commonly associated with maternal and neonatal mortality. Early recognition followed by prompt and aggressive treatment can improve survival rates and are among the most critical activities for nurses and other clinicians caring for women with ASP.
