Amanda's amniotic fluid embolism

Warning: this story features blood and other potentially sensitive subjects. Besides that, I hope everyone likes the story!

******

Amniotic fluid emboli (AFE) are a rare, but often fatal complication associated with childbirth. AFE's occur when amniotic fluid from the mother’s reproductive system enters her bloodstream, causing complications with pulmonary circulation, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and bleeding/hemorrhage. The risk factors for AFE’s are very debatable, but the 2 that we know of are: advanced maternal age (35 or older) and a maternal weight of 220lbs or more. However, our patient Amanda didn’t fit into either of these categories. Amanda was a 28 year old white woman with straight brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, was 5'4, average build, and had a “girl next door” sort of look.

As with most cases of AFE, the onset was totally unexpected; Amanda’s case was no exception. Amanda was carrying twin boys and the pregnancy was uneventful until 2 days before her due date. Amanda complained of severe abdominal pain as well as difficulty breathing. Her fiancée Greg decided to call 911 due to Amanda's symptoms. Greg was a 29 year old white guy who was tall, thin, had blue eyes, longish brown hair, and fair skin. Greg and Amanda were together for 3 years, but decided to hold off on getting married for a little while due to Amanda becoming unexpectedly pregnant with twins.

After Greg's 911 call, EMS arrived approximately 5 minutes later. The paramedics set up 2 large bore IVs, got Amanda on an oxygen mask, removed her clothes, and got her hooked up to a portable heart monitor. On scene, it was noted that Amanda's pulse ox was 94, her BP was 150/100, and her heart rate was 108. Her stats were a bit off, but not to the point of raising a red flag. After these findings, a fetal heart monitor was placed on Amanda’s belly, revealing a fetal heart rate of 154 in one child and a heart rate of 158 in the second child. Although those numbers are within normal limits for fetal heart rates, they’re very close to the upper limits. Shortly following these findings, Amanda was brought out of the house and into an ambulance, while Greg was instructed by paramedics to drive to the hospital.

On the way to the hospital, Amanda’s pulse oxygenation didn’t improve. Her blood pressure started to decrease and she developed a dry cough while continuing to struggle with dyspnea. A few minutes into the trip, Amanda started to bleed vaginally. The bleeding was relatively minor, but it didn’t appear to go away despite paramedics’ efforts.

When Amanda arrived at the emergency department, she was gasping for air, crying, complaining of being cold, and increased vaginal bleeding. Amanda shivered and cried while the trauma team tried to figure out what exactly was wrong with her and her unborn children. Amanda was very scared at the time; she said things like “am I gonna die?” “are my babies ok?!” And “if you can’t save me, save my babies.” The trauma team tried to reassure her, but they still didn’t know what was wrong with her.

The attending physician in the ER ordered a battery of blood tests, along with an echocardiogram and an abdominal ultrasound. The echocardiogram didn’t reveal anything abnormal, but the abdominal ultrasound showed bleeding from an unknown location.

After a few minutes of unsuccessful attempts at replenishing Amanda's blood loss, she started coughing up sputum with a reddish pink color in it. Amanda also started to look rather pale and sickly at that point. Her blood pressure was decreasing and her o2 saturation was continuously going downhill. Because of that, it was decided Amanda would be taken up to the operating room for a c-section and emergency laparotomy to locate the source of the bleeding. Amanda seemed very frightened by the idea of surgery. “surgery?! Is there something else you can do?” she shouted out to us while continuing to gasp for air.

Once in the operating room, Amanda was sedated and intubated. The first order of business was to perform a cesarean section and deliver the 2 boys. Betadine was squirted onto Amanda’s large, protruding belly shortly before a pfannenstiel incision was made. Once her lower abdomen/pelvic cavity were exposed, the uterus was incised. The first child was quickly removed as its cries temporarily relieved the mounting tension in the operating room.

The uterus had to be opened a bit more in order to deliver the 2nd child, and prophylactic antibiotics were also administered to limit the chance of post-operative infection. 2 and a half minutes later, the 2nd child was brought into the world. Thankfully, both children were healthy and in stable condition; the same couldn't be said about Amanda.

After the c-section site was closed with double layer suturing, the exploratory laparotomy began. The surgical site was was sterilized so a midline laparotomy could be performed. A midline laparotomy is a clean cut in the center of Amanda’s abdomen starting below the xiphoid process/diaphragm, curved to the right around the belly button, and continues to the bottom of the pelvis. It’s a large cut that’ll leave a nasty scar, but it’s the most efficient method in regards to overall technique and access to structures in the abdominal and pelvic cavity. Midline laparotomies are also the quickest incision to make, which was important in Amanda’s case.

Amanda’s blood pressure and o2 saturation continued to decrease incrementally throughout the procedure while also continuing to bleed vaginally. Multiple units of blood and FFP were already used, but didn’t appear to correct Amanda’s hemorrhaging. After poking around in Amanda’s abdomen for 25 minutes, the source was still unknown. Eventually, Amanda's hemodynamic instability exacerbated and converted to V-Fib. The surgery was paused to perform resuscitation efforts.

An OR nurse pumped Amanda’s chest as hard as she could while she was switched over to an ambu bag. The defibrillator pads were charged and placed onto her chest while a round of epinephrine was injected into her IV. After several seconds, shock #1 was delivered. Amanda’s feet jumped into the air and slammed back down seconds later, showing off a few thick, prominent wrinkles in her soft, size 6 soles.

The monitors showed v-fib once again so CPR was resumed as the defibrillator pads were recharged. Amanda’s breasts bounced around from the force of each individual compression. Her arms jerked around on the table slightly as the OR nurse continued deep, rapid chest compressions.

After that cycle of CPR and ambu bagging, shock #2 was delivered. Amanda’s body quickly flopped on the table, making a wet squishing sound since she was essentially laying in a pool of her own blood. The monitors displayed coarse V-Fib so another cycle of CPR and ambu bagging was performed before the next shock.

Shock #3 was also unsuccessful. Amanda’s body jolted sharply on the table. The heart monitors displayed pulseless electrical activity (PEA), a deterioration from the previous rhythm. A round of epinephrine was injected as frantic resuscitation efforts continued on the cute, new mother of 2.

Unsuccessful resuscitation efforts went on for another 3 minutes. Another round of epinephrine was pushed, causing Amanda to convert back to V-Fib. The defibrillator pads were charged yet again, forcing everyone to back off of the table in anticipation of the next shock.

Amanda’s back arched before crashing back onto the table a second or two later. The monitors displayed no change whatsoever so the same cycle of CPR and ambu bagging went on as the defib pads were recharged.

Amanda’s lifeless body twitched violently on the table as another unsuccessful shock sent a dose of electricity through her limp body. This shock sent Amanda back into PEA.

Deep, violent chest compressions were resumed. Amanda’s abdomen bounced outward from the compressions while her head bobbed. The situation appeared to be grim, but the OR team continued their valiant efforts on the young mother.

After 4 more minutes of uneventful efforts and epinephrine injections, Amanda converted to V-Fib once again. Just like before, everyone backed off as the next shock was delivered. Amanda’s toes scrunched, showing off large wrinkles in her soft soles. Amanda’s nail polish on her toes was red, almost matching the small amounts of blood on the heels of her feet.

The OR team continued ACLS efforts since the monitors continued displaying V-Fib, or a variation of it. Amanda was shocked unsuccessfully 4 more times, and coded for another 7 minutes. Unfortunately, the surgical team couldn’t shock Amanda out of V-Fib and called time of death at 9:26pm after a 23 minute battle to save her life.

All equipment was removed from Amanda’s body, except for the detached ET tube in an ET tube holder and detached EKG electrodes on her chest. Because of DIC, there was blood in Amanda's ET tube, IV sites, and leaking from each nostril.

The laparotomy was then closed up and the bloody mess of an operating room was cleaned up. Once that was done, Amanda’s body was covered up, only leaving her cute, wrinkly soles exposed. A toe tag was placed on the big toe of her left foot with a vague cause of death listed since nobody knew what happened to Amanda at the time.

After the surgery, Greg was told the news by the doctors. He didn’t exactly know how to feel; on 1 hand, he’s happy both of his kids were alive and well, but on the other hand, he was upset his fiancée died in surgery. Since the cause of death was relatively unknown, Amanda’s family gave the pathologist permission to perform an autopsy.

Amanda’s autopsy revealed that she died from an amniotic fluid embolism. The amniotic fluid ended up in her venous system, went to her heart, and was pumped into her pulmonary arteries, explaining why she had trouble breathing. The body doesn’t know exactly how to fight an AFE, so it attempted to clot the blood in her body, but she quickly ran out of her natural clotting factors, explaining the vaginal bleeding, which turned out to be DIC.

Even though Amanda’s cause of death was discovered, it’s still a tough loss considering she was a young woman who’s leaving a fiancée and 2 children who won’t know their mother.

REPOST FROM MY SECONDARY BLOG

My first haul

I actually wasn’t planning on taking that much, but I was at Sephora and there was this really nice lady who I kept bothering to help me. I felt really bad so I thought I should at least buy something. Since the lip paint was out of stock, I went to order it online at the checkout. The only problem was they don’t take cash. Jdjsgodoks my Mom would kill me if she found out I spent $20 on a liner. So basically I took some other things to make it look like I got more makeup for $20.

Stephanie Kaylor: Special Feature

UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN WITH MULTIPLE TATTOOS WHOSE DECOMPOSING BODY WAS FOUND IN AN ABANDONED HOME

dreams of leaving purgatory, dreams

of flour on her hands, not these

blisters, burns, chipped polish on

her nails, their borderlines bleeding

into space dissolving dreams of here or

there

in El Paso, Mama said there was

no such thing as racism: the whites

kept to themselves while the others

kept to theirs, and she was gone

now, married a man, changed her

name from Maria to Mary. Mama

said to put sunscreen on your skin

to hide it from the sun, not these

tattoos

filling her body like a calendar

counting down the days from

origin to synthesis, no borders,

no walls, no windows left unbroken

UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN FOUND DEAD IN SINGLE CAR WRECK, ESTIMATED DAMAGE TO VEHICLE SET AT $10,000

In Okeechobee, Florida all train traffic was

halted until the tracks were repaired &

in the orange groves the cargo waited,

the men came equipped: drills & ledgers,

borderlines, unnecessary dust, the cause

still undetermined. Up the road a battle-

field where they once named death “old

rough and ready.” It was called the Second

Seminole War as if the first had ever

ended, gunfire searing through like a

highway on which drivers simply change

lanes as Unidentified Woman’s body

crumples before them. They hold re-

enactments to raise money for its

preservation each year while a car

without a driver is taken to the shop,

Unidentified Woman awaiting their

instruments: calipers, retractors, the

tie around the tongue allowing them

to look into the pharynx & try to

find a name.

UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN TOLD POLICE SHE VOLUNTEERED TO HAVE HER ARM CUT AND FINGER CUT OFF. SHE WAS NOT UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OF ALCOHOL WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED

It wasn’t needed. Her fingers

only incidental-- what was there

to grasp? A ghost, a song, a

preface to the story she lacked

the pen to write? Unidentified

Woman told Jonathan already--

you can take these hands if no

one’s going to call me when they’re

raised; you can let this blood if

it’s only extra weight; you can take

these legs that have no place left

to run, and Jonathan, I see you

going far.

It wasn’t needed. The men wanted

a ritual, not the persistence of

flesh but the sanctity of its

obstruction. A shot of blood, a

pinky finger pointing out toward

the stars or toward the

ground, but away from the core

of Unidentified Woman, away

from the sex she’d stroke on

sleepless nights once Jonathon

turned off the lights, the unattended.

Unidentified Woman abandons her-

self, manicured & ready, toenails

polished just incase.

UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN FOUND STRANGLED, BURNED, HER BREAST IMPLANTS TRACED TO A DALLAS CLINIC

After strangling her, he washed his hands while his

friend took a turn on her corpse. He does not call it

a corpse, he calls it Her with his fingers in its tousled

hair, finds a dovish motherliness to wrap around himself

in her eyes rolled back into a parenthetical, a wasted

day unscripted & underway folded into jokes of shop-

lifting since even the police wouldn’t call it rape when

they learned of her high heels made of some plastic clear

as his conscious, the tattoo on her lower back. Most of

it burnt off, could only identify her by the globes in her

chest, the only parts left unscathed after he took the

canister of gasoline, made sure he wouldn’t dirty his yard.
