Are there certain things that make getting amniotic fluid embolism more likely?

Trauma: Amniotic fluid embolism (afe) risk is increased in cases of abdominal trauma. The risk is likely elevated as a result of amniocentesis, labor induction with cytotec, (misoprostol) cesarean delivery, instrumental vaginal delivery, elevated amniotic fluid level, eclampsia, and uterine rupture - all of which involve some type of trauma involving the uterus.

Yes: Careless surgery can open venous plexuses susceptible to pick up amniotic fluid. Too much pressure on the abdomen during cesarean can do the same thing as well. Sometimes with everything done perfectly still happens unfortunately.
