Amniotic fluid embolism is a rare disease that induces fatal coagulopathy; however, due to its rarity, it has not yet been examined in detail. The strict diagnostic criteria by Clark for amniotic fluid embolism include severe coagulopathy complicated by cardiopulmonary insufficiency, whereas the Japanese criteria also include postpartum hemorrhage or Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation in clinical practice. Amniotic fluid embolism cases with preceding consumptive coagulopathy may exist and are potential clinical targets for earlier assessments and interventions among amniotic fluid embolism cases fulfilling the Japanese, but not Clark criteria. The present study was performed to compare coagulopathy in the earlier stage between the amniotic fluid embolism patients diagnosed by Clark criteria (Clark group, n = 6), those by the Japanese criteria (Non-Clark group, n = 10), and peripartum controls and identify optimal clinical markers for earlier assessments of amniotic fluid embolism-related consumptive coa the occurrence or prevent the aggravation of severe coagulopathy in amniotic fluid embolism patients. Earlier evaluations of consumptive coagulopathy and hyperfibrinolysis using the hemoglobin/fibrinogen ratio following preemptive treatment may reduce the occurrence or prevent the aggravation of severe coagulopathy in amniotic fluid embolism patients. Venovenous extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal may be lifesaving in the setting of status asthmaticus. Retrospective review. Medical ICU. Twenty-six adult patients with status asthmaticus treated with venovenous extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal. None. Demographic data and characteristics of current and prior asthma treatments were obtained from the electronic medical record. Mechanical ventilator settings, arterial blood gases, vital signs, and use of vasopressors were collected from the c
