What kind of pregnant women are prone to amniotic fluid embolism

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, amniotic fluid embolism is a severe obstetric complication caused by the entry of amniotic fluid and its particulate matter into the maternal bloodstream. It is clinically uncommon but has a high mortality rate. The etiology is often due to excessive uterine contractions or tetanic contractions, as well as high intracavitary pressure.
