Abstract

A case of fatal massive pulmonary microembolism with particles of the synthetic polymer preparation in a female of 26 early after delivery is reported. The case is interpreted as a maternal death of the 1st group due to occasional damage in the process of uterine cavity washing with a suspension of a synthetic polymer preparation polysorb in the treatment of purulent postpartum endometritis.
