The importance of early veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the management of amniotic fluid embolism complicated by cardiac arrest: a case report and literature review
This case demonstrates the feasibility and potential utility of early VA-ECMO as a resuscitative therapy for AFE-induced cardiac arrest. Its successful application in this setting justifies further evaluation of ECPR in peripartum emergencies.
