Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication of pregnancy in pregnancy and immediate postpartum period. Its pathophysiology remains poorly understood, and the mortality rates have historically been high. In this paper, we present a detailed history of two patients diagnosed with AFE and discuss the potential pathophysiological mechanisms involved. We highlight the importance of early recognition, immediate ICU management, and a multidisciplinary approach to improve survival in AFE cases.
羊水栓塞（AFE）是妊娠及产后即刻罕见但可能具有灾难性的并发症。其病理生理学仍知之甚少，且历来死亡率较高。在本文中，我们介绍了两名被诊断为羊水栓塞患者的详细病史，并讨论了潜在的病理生理机制。我们强调早期识别、即刻重症监护病房管理以及多学科方法对于提高羊水栓塞病例生存率的重要性。
