What is true about amniotic fluid embolism? CHOOSE 2
1. Rare catastrophic life-threatening event 2. Complication of pregnancy when there is a disruption of barrier b/w amniotic fluid and maternal circulation (I think this one was asking when it can occur and options were something like during C/S, anytime after birth, anytime during pregnancy, etc.) This is what I have in my notes: Amniotic fluid embolism is rare and may occur during labor, vaginal, or operative delivery and it is occasionally associated with placental abruption.
