Please listen to the editor's introduction.
1. Heart and lung failure and shock: During delivery, the mother suddenly experiences symptoms such as chills, coughing, shortness of breath, and restlessness, followed by cyanosis, difficulty breathing, increased heart rate, convulsions, coma, decreased blood pressure, circulatory failure, and shock. Wet rales can be heard by auscultation of the lung. If there is pulmonary edema, the patient may have hemoptysis foam sputum. Some parturients suddenly scream or yawn, and their blood pressure immediately drops or even disappears, and they die within a few minutes.
2. Bleeding caused by DIC: manifested as massive vaginal bleeding, non coagulation of blood, massive bleeding from incisions and needle holes, systemic skin and mucosal bleeding, and sometimes massive bleeding from the digestive or urinary tract, resulting in vomiting, rectal bleeding, and hematuria.
3. Acute renal failure: Due to systemic circulatory failure, renal blood flow decreases, resulting in renal microvascular embolism, renal ischemia causing renal tissue damage, manifested as oliguria, anuria, and uremia. Once the renal parenchyma is damaged, it can lead to renal failure.
The above is some of the typical clinical manifestations of amniotic fluid embolism introduced by the editor, hoping to be helpful to everyone. In summary, the typical clinical manifestations of amniotic fluid embolism are still very terrifying. Therefore, if this phenomenon occurs, I suggest that friends should see a doctor as soon as possible, understand the symptoms, and receive treatment.
