  • Title: Survival following amniotic fluid embolism and cardiac arrest complicated by sub-capsular liver haematoma.
    Author: Nagar MP, Gratrix AP, O'Beirne HA, Enright SM.
    Journal: Int J Obstet Anesth; 2005 Jan; 14(1):62-5. PubMed ID: 15627544.
    Abstract:
    We describe the anaesthetic and intensive care management of a 38-year-old mother with presumed amniotic fluid embolism who suffered cardiorespiratory collapse following delivery of a normal baby by caesarean section. After initial resuscitation, her recovery was complicated by development of disseminated intravascular coagulation and a large sub-capsular hepatic haematoma. We describe the initial resuscitative efforts and subsequent intensive therapy to full neurological recovery and discharge from hospital.
