In cases where the patient with amniotic fluid embolism has been cured, there are usually no sequelae for the mother. Amniotic fluid embolism is a syndrome caused by the passage of amniotic fluid and its tangible material from the placental veins into the mother’s circulation during labor. Different amounts of amniotic fluid enter the mother’s body, with different clinical manifestations of severity for the fetus and the mother. Patients with amniotic fluid embolism may present with signs of respiratory distress, manifested by dyspnea, cyanosis, hypoxia, and even apnea. Patients may also develop diffuse intravascular coagulation syndrome, which may be combined with complications such as hemorrhage, shock, left ventricular failure, generalized spasm, renal failure, and even death. The onset of amniotic fluid embolism is quite sudden and can affect the fetus. If the fetus is not delivered at the time of onset, the fetus may suffer from low maternal blood pressure, inadequate uterine perfusion, and asphyxia due to lack of oxygen, resulting in altered fetal heart sounds, slowed heartbeat, or delayed deceleration of the heartbeat, which may ultimately lead to fetal death. Patients with amniotic fluid embolism should be nourished, have a follow-up examination on the 42nd day after delivery, and seek prompt medical attention for any discomfort.
