Acute Postpartum Respiratory Distress With Right Ventricular Dysfunction Complicating Into Postpartum Cardiomyopathy: A Case of Suspected Atypical Amniotic Fluid Embolism
Abstract
Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a devastating and unpredictable obstetric emergency typically characterized by sudden cardiopulmonary collapse and coagulopathy during or shortly after delivery. It is triggered by an anaphylactoid-histamine-mediated systemic response, evidently with no available confirmatory tests in living patients. The diagnosis is primarily clinical, supported by imaging and exclusion of mimics.
