  • Title: Severe lung damage after amniotic fluid embolism; a case with haemodynamic measurements.
    Author: van Haeften TW, Strack van Schijndel RJ, Thijs LG.
    Journal: Neth J Med; 1989 Dec; 35(5-6):317-20. PubMed ID: 2635288.
    Abstract:
    A case is presented of non-fatal amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) with a severe shock complicated by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with permanent pulmonary damage. Analysis of haemodynamic data of this patient suggests that diminished myocardial contractility and a decrease in peripheral vascular tone are the main causes of prolonged shock in AFE.
