A case of amniotic fluid embolism during the delivery of a twin pregnancy is reported. After immediate resuscitation with artificial ventilation the mother and the neonates survived the acute episode. As a result of hyperfibrinolysis with premature separation of the placenta a dramatic postpartum haemorrhage occurred, which could be controlled by Fritsch' manoeuvre. Meanwhile it was possible to restore the coagulation disorder with fresh whole blood, fibrinogen and an antifibrinolytic agent (Aprotinin).
