Abstract:
Amniotic lfuid embolism refers to the accessible amniotic lfuid component of maternal circulation leading to a series of severe symptoms, such as pulmonary embolism, shock or even death. Up till now, AFE is a diagnosis of exclusion. The sensitivity and specificity of these methods were poor. With the increasing maternal mortality caused by AFE in forensic medicine, it is important to seeking for more precise diagnosis method. This review intends to provide methodological reference for forensic identification through the research progress of the diagnosis of AFE.
