RESUMEN

Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare but potentially fatal complication of pregnancy. Prompt and aggressive resuscitative strategies are crucial in promoting survivability. We present a case of AFE resulting in cardiopulmonary collapse and subsequent cardiac arrest where we were able to safely deliver the baby and resuscitate the mother with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and Impella CP-a novel combination known as ECPELLA. We discuss the implications of this approach as a more efficacious strategy in resuscitating AFE-induced cardiogenic shock and arrest.
