Performances and place of these laboratory tests must be precised as no specific test can attest the diagnosis. Further laboratory tests were conducted to support the diagnosis: cytology, study of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1, tryptase and alpha-foetoprotein. Laboratory tests were performed during acute phase to diagnose coagulopathy and to monitor vital parameters. After a literature review, we report on the case of a 34 years old patient occurred during labor. There are currently no proven diagnostic.
Amniotic fluid is the fluid that surrounds and protects a baby during pregnancy. Amniocentesis is a test done during pregnancy. Amniotic fluid embolism is diagnosed solely based on the presence of specific clinical signs. It results from the passage of amniotic fluid into the maternal circulation, but mechanisms leading to clinical signs are not yet clearly identified. Amniocentesis is a procedure in which amniotic fluid is removed from the uterus for testing or treatment. 3 The only laboratory test that reliably supports the diagnosis is the finding of fetal material in the maternal pulmonary circulation at autopsy.
