Can early caesarean section cause amniotic fluid embolism?

summary

Some expectant mothers traditionally believe that natural birth is a very dangerous thing. With such a long process of labor, accidents will happen at any time, and cesarean section can take the child out at once. It should not happen such as amniotic fluid embolism. Can early caesarean section cause amniotic fluid embolism? Now let me tell you something.

Can early caesarean section cause amniotic fluid embolism?

Theoretically, as long as there is a wound in the process of delivery, there is the possibility of amniotic fluid embolism, so whether it is Caesarean section or natural delivery, there is the possibility of amniotic fluid embolism. In the process of cesarean section, we need to achieve smooth delivery through the incision, and the wound is much larger than the natural birth, so the probability of amniotic fluid embolism in cesarean section is higher than that in natural birth.

If amniotic fluid embolism is not handled in time, it can lead to fatal injury, especially the high probability of amniotic fluid embolism in cesarean section. Therefore, in the process of cesarean section, it is very important to do a good job of early prevention. Due to the large incision during caesarean section, some netizens think that it can be done, and the amniotic fluid can be drained instantly through the machine, but this operation is unlikely in the view of the existing technology.

During caesarean section, the doctor will cut a small incision of 1 ~ 2cm in the lower part of the uterus to reach the amniotic sac of the puerpera, suck up the amniotic fluid by puncturing the amniotic membrane, and then expand the uterine incision to deliver the fetal head, so as to minimize the amniotic fluid embolism.

matters needing attention

Natural childbirth is not only very good for the health of the fetus, but also helpful for the maternal health. In the process of production, natural delivery is safer than caesarean section, and the probability of amniotic fluid embolism is five or six times lower than caesarean section, which is a very big gap. So for the sake of their own life safety, I hope more and more female friends choose natural childbirth.
