“…Both the United States and the United Kingdom have a national registry for suspected AFE, and entry criteria consist of the presence of the four following factors: 1) acute hypotension or cardiac arrest; 2) acute hypoxia; 3) coagulopathy or severe clinical hemorrhage in the absence of other explanations; 4) all of these occurring during labour, Cesarean delivery, or D & E or within 30 min postpartum with no other explanation for the findings. 1,4 The patient described in this case report had all of these factors. Lawson et al 5 reviewed all legal abortion related deaths from pulmonary embolism reported to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) from 1972 through 1985.…”
