Purpose: Describe the diagnosis, clinical features, pathophysiology, treatment and anesthetic management of amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) in a patient undergoing second trimester pregnancy termination.
Clinical Features: A 30-yr-old gravida 2, para 1, woman was admitted for a dilatation and evacuation procedure for underlying intra-uterine fetal demise in her second trimester of pregnancy. Hypotension, shock, respiratory arrest, pulseless electrical activity, hemorrhage, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation and blood transfusion complicated her intraoperative care.
