"Collect blood from the deep vein, send it to the Medical Laboratory Department, and check for amniotic fluid embolism." When Fang Pingzhu saw the patient, she immediately asked the nurse to send for a request for an amniotic fluid embolism examination.
For the Gynaecology Department, the highest mortality rate came from amniotic fluid embolism.
Amniotic fluid embolism meant that during the labor process, the amniotic fluid had suddenly entered the mother's bloodstream, subsequently causing a series of severe complications such as acute pulmonary embolism, anaphylaxis, kidney failure, and sudden death.
Due to the high amount of fetal hair, cuticular epithelium, vernix caseosa, and meconium in the amniotic fluid, once the amniotic fluid entered the bloodstream, it would immediately cause damage to the balance of the body.
