Successful Resuscitation Following Amniotic Fluid Embolism During Emergency Lower Segment Caesarean Section: A Case Report

Meshram P, Maneesha, Uma Hariharan and Jayashree Doval

Amniotic fluid embolism (AE) is a rare and potentially fatal condition occurring in obstetric patients, which continues to have a high mortality rate. We report a case of AE occurring during the peri-partum period, in which due to expeditious cardiopulmonary resuscitation, both the mother and the newborn survived. High degree of suspicion and prompt action is mandatory for a favorable outcome in such scenarios.
