Heart rate variability as a predictor of hypotension following spinal for elective caesarean section: a prospective observational study.

abstract：:Amniotic fluid embolism is a rare obstetric complication. The exact pathogenesis of this syndrome remains unknown and significant controversy exists whether coagulopathy should always be present. We used thromboelastography to assess the effect of amniotic fluid on coagulation and platelet function in pregnant women. ...
