AI Article Synopsis
- Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) can occur during surgery for placenta percreta and may lead to cardiac arrest.
- In a reported case, AFE resulted in cardiac arrest after a hysterectomy for placenta percreta.
- Successful resuscitation was achieved through subhepatic manual aortic compression, chest compressions, and infrarenal aortic cross-clamping, resulting in a good outcome for the mother.
Article Abstract
Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE, also known as anaphylactoid syndrome of pregnancy) at the time of surgery for placenta percreta has been previously reported. We report here a case in which AFE and associated cardiac arrest occurred following a hysterectomy for placenta percreta. In this case, subhepatic manual aortic compression during the cardiac arrest and chest compressions followed by infrarenal aortic cross-clamping during volume infusion and reversal of the coagulopathy were associated with a successful resuscitation and good maternal outcome.
