RESUMEN
We describe the anaesthetic and intensive care management of a 38-year-old mother with presumed amniotic fluid embolism who suffered cardiorespiratory collapse following delivery of a normal baby by caesarean section. After initial resuscitation, her recovery was complicated by development of disseminated intravascular coagulation and a large sub-capsular hepatic haematoma. We describe the initial resuscitative efforts and subsequent intensive therapy to full neurological recovery and discharge from hospital.
