The Science of Amniotic Fluid Embolism

Abstract

With many countries around the world facing aging populations and declining birth rates, governments are encouraging women to have children. However, few countries are really concerned about the effects of pregnancy on women, and society is hiding the risks and symptoms of pregnancy and postpartum complications as if to get more women to have children by hiding these facts. What I believe is that only when women truly understand the process and risk factors of pregnancy can they be prepared to give birth with confidence. People are always afraid of the unknown. This article systematically analyzes the disease with the highest mortality rate during pregnancy, amniotic fluid embolism (AFE). Hopefully, this article will make more people aware of this rare but highly fatal disease. This article introduces various aspects of AFE, the most central part of which should be the analysis of the causes of AFE and the current treatment methods. The author hopes that after reading this article, the reader will be able to eliminate as many questions as possible about AFE.
