Definition of AFE AFE is a rare obstetric emergency in which amniotic fluid. fetal cells. hair or other debris enter the maternal circulation, causing cardiorespiratory collapse
Definition of AFE ◼ AFE is a rare obstetric emergency in which amniotic fluid, fetal cells, hair, or other debris enter the maternal circulation, causing cardiorespiratory collapse

epidemiology ◼ The incidence of clinically detectable AFE is low ◼ estimated to be 1 in 20,000 to 80,000 live births. ◼ Maternal mortality approaches 80%. ◼ 5%- 10% of maternal mortality in the United States is due to AFE. ◼ Of patients with AFE, 50% die within the first hour of onset of symptoms. ◼ Of survivors of the initial cardiorespiratory phase, 50% develop a coagulopathy. ◼ Neonatal survival is 70%

Women who survive these events may enter phase ll a This is a hemorrhagic phase characterized by massive hemorrhage with uterine atony and DIC however, fatal consumptive coagulopathy may be the initial presentation
◼ Women who survive these events may enter phase II. ◼ This is a hemorrhagic phase characterized by massive hemorrhage with uterine atony and DIC ◼ however, fatal consumptive coagulopathy may be the initial presentation
Presentation The clinical presentation of AFE is generally dramatic a in the late stages acutely dyspnea and ypotension with rapid progression to cardiopulmonary arrest a In 40% of cases, followed by some degree of consumptive coagulopathy

a Hypotension: Blood pressure may drop significantly with loss of diastolic measurement Dyspnea: Labored breathing and tachypnea may occur. Seizure: The patient may experience tonic-clonic seizures。 Cough: This is usually a manifestation of dyspnea. Cyanosis: As hypoxia/hypoxemia progresses, circumoral and peripheral cyanosis and changes in mucous membranes may manifest
