Other obstetric embolism - what does this mean
Other obstetric embolism is a rare type of embolism that occurs during pregnancy or shortly after delivery. it is caused by a blockage of a blood vessel by a clot or other material, which is usually formed in the veins of the legs or pelvis and then travels to the lungs, blocking the blood flow and causing a lack of oxygen to the vital organs.
What happens during the disease - other obstetric embolism
Other obstetric embolism is a condition in which a clot or other material forms in the placenta and is then released into the maternal circulation, leading to blockage of the pulmonary arteries and other blood vessels. this can cause a decrease in oxygen levels in the maternal circulation, leading to organ failure and in some cases, death.
