Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare obstetric emergency.
  • AFE is associated with high rates of maternal and fetal mortality.
  • Current supportive care has limited impact on AFE prognosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide guidelines for the recognition and management of amniotic fluid embolism.
  • To improve maternal and fetal outcomes in cases of AFE.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and expert consensus.
  • Development of diagnostic criteria and therapeutic algorithms.

Main Results:

  • The guidelines offer a structured approach to AFE diagnosis.
  • Recommendations for supportive and potentially targeted therapies are outlined.
