Abstract
Diagnosis of amniotic fluid embolism is difficult in a patient under general anesthesia and may initially resemble several other conditions. Successful treatment requires maintenance of adequate cardiac output and oxygenation and prompt heparin treatment of the disseminated intravascular coagulation. The presented case exemplifies another group of patients who are ar risk for amniotic fluid embolism.Keywords
