    I suffered and AFE /DIC almost 21 years ago. First pregnancy, 32 years old, healthy. On Sunday we celebrate my son’s 21st birthday. My husband is now a pulmonary/ critical physician in Dallas. He was in his residency at UTSW when we went through this. I’m thankful for physicians like you and my husband, who study this to help save the lives of women like me who experience these complications.

    My wife had AFE 1 month ago. She had the same features you mentioned. She is 35 YO and the 1st baby for us. She was admitted for induction of labor and suddenly she collapsed and ventouse was apply for my daughter. Alhamdullah I’m very thankful for Allah then the doctors to recover her after 3 cycles of CPR and adrenaline injection. She had a massive bleeding and got 18 units of PRBC & 25 units of FFP. At that moment my life turned black in my eyes. At the moment Alhamdullah she’s doing well and getting better now. I’m so sorry for people who lost their families in AFE and I wish to find more info and studies in this situation. Hopefully find this video translated to Arabic.

    Thanks for uncovering one of my past nightmares. These days the anesthesia provider is the one who is the first critical care provider to care for these patients as I was back in the early 90's. My case was fortunately mild-ish without severe CV collapse. These were the days before echo, TXA and AOK. We probably gave steroids. We did start an art line and were ready to float a SWAN if things got worse. Multiple aggressive transfusions with frequent labs kept her stable enough. It all is something that is outside of what an OB has ever experienced so it is in your hands until you have an ICU doc to help out.

    Fantastic job!! another life saved…….⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    She was lucky to give birth in a hospital with blood bank …or she would not have lived . Having delivered a couple thousand babies over my career , I am happy that my number NEVER came up for this catastrophic event …have treated pts with massive hemorrhage, shoulder dystocia, DIC , uterine rupture , eclampsia,
    etc but thankfully not AFE …. this is often SUDDEN , if UNdelivered , CPR very difficult , if not impossible with gravid uterus !!! Now you have TWO patients in trouble …….

    I’ve heard that hospitalizations are on the rise, what are the current Covid variants characteristics, risk levels, etc.
    We got Covid earlier this summer for the first time in Eastern Europe.

      It should be out by the end of the week. Basically we’re having another summer surge like we have in the past. But I don’t think it’s going to be as large this time. It could be related to people going indoors and air conditioning spreading it around. There’s no evidence that this new variant is worse or that it’s more infectious so far. Vaccination and boosters still afford protection for cases, hospitalizations and deaths.

    Hi Dr. Seheult, this is an excellent video as always, thank you! I have a question if you're still checking comments: If this is mechanistically similar to anaphylaxis, is there a world where it makes sense to perform something like a skin prick test with amniotic fluid prior to birth to see if the patient is more likely to have a response? Or is it a different type of reaction? Have seen some research on biomarkers but it looks like the jury is mostly still out. Thank you!

    • @Medcram
      @Medcram  9 місяців тому +3

      It’s very rare, so I don’t think they would do that. However, amniotic fluid in the bloodstream is always going to be unpredictable.

      The NIH has a good list: "cerebrovascular disorders and cardiac disease have 25 fold and 70 fold higher risk of AFE, respectively. There is also a strong association of AFE with cesarean delivery, placenta previa, eclampsia, placental abruption, polyhydramnios, dilatation and curettage, and renal disease." It doesn't sound like many opportunities for prevention.

      You got 9 months to fix things.
      Is the cesarean delivery after this happens?
      Cesareans are also associated with low vitamin d levels.
      Are vitamin d levels low in these patients?
      Cardio vascular and brain issues are often related to high sugar intake, high insulin, even if prediabetic or diabetic, is this related here?
      When we back track to the root cause what do we find?
