What are the sequelae of amniotic fluid embolism?

Amniotic fluid embolism may have sequelae such as pulmonary hypertension, loss of fertility and anaphylactic shock. 1. Pulmonary hypertension: the common sequelae of amniotic fluid embolism is pulmonary hypertension, due to the tangible substances in amniotic fluid form embolus, from the pulmonary artery into the pulmonary circulation, blocking the small blood vessels, stimulating the release of vasoactive substances from the small blood vessels and interstitial cells of the lungs, leading to spasm of the small blood vessels of the lungs, resulting in the occurrence of pulmonary hypertension. 2. Loss of fertility: the sequelae of amniotic fluid embolism also include loss of fertility. In the process of rescuing the patient, the uterus must be removed due to the severity of the condition. If the uterus is removed, it means that the patient loses the ability to have children. 3. Anaphylactic shock: Anaphylactic shock is also one of the sequelae of amniotic fluid embolism. It is mainly manifested by severe hypotension and unstable circulation. When the amniotic fluid enters the bloodstream, it will easily block the blood vessels, triggering an immune response and leading to anaphylactic shock. After the appearance of the above symptoms, you should go to the hospital in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment, otherwise it will seriously jeopardize the patient’s life.
