Obstetric embolism - what does this mean
Obstetric embolism is a rare, but potentially life-threatening, complication of childbirth. it occurs when a blood clot or other material, such as amniotic fluid, enters the mother's bloodstream and travels to her lungs, blocking blood flow and causing a pulmonary embolism. this can lead to difficulty breathing, low oxygen levels, and heart and lung failure.
What happens during the disease - obstetric embolism
Obstetric embolism is a rare but serious medical condition that occurs when a clot or other material travels through the bloodstream and lodges in the lungs, blocking the flow of oxygen to the body. it is usually caused by a blood clot that forms in the placenta during pregnancy and then travels to the lungs, but can also be caused by air bubbles, amniotic fluid, or other material. risk factors for this condition include advanced maternal age, multiple pregnancies, and cesarean delivery.
