BASIC BSC NURSING
4TH YEAR
AMNIOTIC FLUID
INTRODUCTION
Amniotic fluid is also called liquor amnion
It is covered be two layer ,the inner most
layer is amnion and the outer most layer is
chorion
DEFINITION
Amniotic fluid is a clear protective fluid
which are protect the baby and provide
favorable environment for survival to fetus
and it is 99% consist of water and 1% is is
consist of organic,non
organic,harmone,vernix caseosa,lanugo
and exfoliated fetal cells
 Amount:

 50 ml at 12 week

 400 ml at 20 week

 Reaches to its peak of 1 liter at 36-38 week
and finally starts

 diminishing afterwards and it about 600-800
ml at term.
CHARACTERISTICS
 Specific gravity: 1.010

 Osmolarity: 250 mOsm/L suggests fetal
maturity

 Color: In early pregnancy- colorless, near
term- pale straw color due to the presence of
exfoliated lanugo and epidermal cells, may
look turbid due to vernix caseosa
CHARACTERISTICS
pH:Alkaline in nature
Composition:99% water, 1 % is organic,
inorganic subs., hormones, lanugo, vernix
caseosa, exfoliated fetal cells
Replaced in every 3 hours
CHARACTERISTICS
ABNORMAL COLOUR OF AMNIOTIC
FLUID
1-12 weeks = Ultrafiltration of maternal
plasma
12-20 weeks - Fetal skin across the
membranes
(Keratinization at 22 to 25 weeks)
18 weeks onwards = Fetal urine output
(Fetal urine production by 12 weeks)
SOURCE
. During Pregnancy
• Shock absorber
• Maintains even temperature
• Allows the growth of fetus and its movement
within the amniotic cavity
• Adequate water supply with minimal nutritive
value
FUNCTION
 During Labor
• Helps in dilatation of cervix
• Prevents interference with placental
circulation during uterine contraction
• Prevents umbilical cord compression
• Flushes the birth canal to prevent ascending
infection into uterine cavity at first stage of
FUNCTION
Fluid production at term -
1. Fetal Urine output (At term - 650-1000
ml/day)
2. Fetal lung secretion (350 ml / day)
REGULATION/CIRCULATION
Fluid resorption at term -
1. Fetal swallowing
(Swallowing begins by 10-12 weeks) (At
term 500-1000 ml)
2. Intramembranous flow - (400 ml /day)
REGULATION/CIRCULATION
Amniotic fluid is measured by two
methods
• Amniotic fluid index;in the method the uterus
is divided into four quadrants and the
measurements of each quadrants Added And
done by ultrasonography.A normal amniotic
fluid index is 5 cm to 25 cm using the standard
assessment method. Less than 5 cm is
considered oligohydramnios, and greater than
25 cm is considered polyhydramnios.
Amniotic Fluid Measurement
• Single deepest pocket:in this method the
measurements are done by
ultrasonography in which measure the
one quadrant deepth
• . 2-8cm is normal range

EMBOLISM
AMNIOTIC FLUID
EMBOLISM
INTRODUCTION
• Can not be predicted or prevented from
occurring
• 13 - 86% maternal mortality
• 50% of deaths in the first hour, many from
cardiac arrest
• Most develop DIC
• Survivors usually have major neurological
problems
• Often isn't diagnosed until autopsy
• 20-40% neonatal mortality; half of survivors
have neurological damage
DEFINITION
This is a condition when amniotic Fluid is
forced into the maternal circulation via
uterus or placental site forming a embolism
which obstructs pulmonary vessels leading
to respiratory distress and circulatory
collapse ,the amniotic fluid may contain
vernix ,hair,foetal squamous cells or
epithelium
 RISK FACTORS
1. Advanced maternal age
2. Placental problems
3. Preeclampsia
4. Madically induced labour
5. Operative delivery
6. Polyhydramnios
 RISK FACTORS
1. Multipara
2. C/section 7 operative delivery
3. Placental abruption, fetal death
4. • 80% in labour
5. 20% before or after birth
SIGN AND SYMPTOMS
• Abrupt onset of respiratory distress
• Chest pain
• Seizures
• Heart failure
• Pulmonary oedema
• Fetal bradycardia
• Feral distress,if delivery had not yet
occured
SIGN AND SYMPTOMS
• Dramatic
• Rapid progression from dyspnoea,
hypotension & cardiac arrest
• Seizures, coma
• Haemorrhage
• Fetal distress
WHAT WOMEN
REPORT
• Breathlessness
• Feling of doom(anxiety)
• Chest pain
• Feeling cold
• Light headed
• Pins and needles
• Restlessness, sense of panic
• Nausea and vomiting
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
• Probably an anaphylactoid-type reaction (potentially
life-threatening allergic reaction)to the intravascular
ingress of amniotic fluid
• This causes widespread vasoconstriction including
pulmonary and cardiac vessels
• There is myocardial contractility and acute left heart
failure
• If the mother survives the initial cardiorespiratory
failure then DIC and haemorrhage is inevitable
• Survivors may suffer stroke due to cerebral infarction
• The presence of fetal amniotic squames in the maternal
lung at autopsy is said to be "diagnostic"
Investigations
• Coagulation profile: AFE is associated
with DIC in >80% cases
• Electrocardiogram shows tachycardia,
ST segment and T-wave changes, and
findings consistent with right ventricle
strain
NORMAL XRAY
AFE
• Arterial blood gases: changes consistent
with hypoxia
• Chest X-ray: consistent with pulmonary
edema
• Echocardiogram
• Serum tryptaseaining
Investigations
Management
• Intensive care monitoring
• . One should be aware that there is high-
risk at developing: ARDS, heart failure,
DIC
• Supportive treatment: Ventilation,
inotropic support, Hematological
support
• Steroids may be useful
Midwifery Nurse
Action
• Midwifery Actions
• Get emergency help quickly
• Initiate CPR
• Oxygen
• Treat shock, IV fluids
• Emergency caesarean
• Transfer to ICU
• Support and care for woman and family
in emergency / shock situation
Potential Interventions for Severe Life
Threatening Cases of AFE
• Inhaled nitric oxide for pulmonary
hypertension leading to right-sided heart
failure
• ECMO for severe hypoxia and left heart
failure.

  • 28. SIGN AND SYMPTOMS • Abrupt onset of respiratory distress • Chest pain • Seizures • Heart failure • Pulmonary oedema • Fetal bradycardia • Feral distress,if delivery had not yet occured
  • 29. SIGN AND SYMPTOMS • Dramatic • Rapid progression from dyspnoea, hypotension & cardiac arrest • Seizures, coma • Haemorrhage • Fetal distress
  • 30. WHAT WOMEN REPORT • Breathlessness • Feling of doom(anxiety) • Chest pain • Feeling cold • Light headed • Pins and needles • Restlessness, sense of panic • Nausea and vomiting
  • 31.
  • 32. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY • Probably an anaphylactoid-type reaction (potentially life-threatening allergic reaction)to the intravascular ingress of amniotic fluid • This causes widespread vasoconstriction including pulmonary and cardiac vessels • There is myocardial contractility and acute left heart failure • If the mother survives the initial cardiorespiratory failure then DIC and haemorrhage is inevitable
  • 33. • Survivors may suffer stroke due to cerebral infarction • The presence of fetal amniotic squames in the maternal lung at autopsy is said to be "diagnostic"
  • 34.
  • 35. Investigations • Coagulation profile: AFE is associated with DIC in >80% cases • Electrocardiogram shows tachycardia, ST segment and T-wave changes, and findings consistent with right ventricle strain
  • 37. AFE
  • 38. • Arterial blood gases: changes consistent with hypoxia • Chest X-ray: consistent with pulmonary edema • Echocardiogram • Serum tryptaseaining Investigations
  • 39. Management • Intensive care monitoring • . One should be aware that there is high- risk at developing: ARDS, heart failure, DIC • Supportive treatment: Ventilation, inotropic support, Hematological support • Steroids may be useful
  • 40. Midwifery Nurse Action • Midwifery Actions • Get emergency help quickly • Initiate CPR • Oxygen • Treat shock, IV fluids • Emergency caesarean • Transfer to ICU • Support and care for woman and family in emergency / shock situation
  • 41. Potential Interventions for Severe Life Threatening Cases of AFE • Inhaled nitric oxide for pulmonary hypertension leading to right-sided heart failure • ECMO for severe hypoxia and left heart failure.
