Cryoprecipitate transfusion reversed DIC in the described AFE case. DIC simultaneously forms clots throughout the vasculature while depleting clotting factors, producing paradoxical bleeding. Amniotic fluid embolism triggers DIC through uncontrolled activation of the clotting cascade. DIC-induced hemorrhage in AFE can result in approximately 6 liters of blood loss as the coagulation system becomes exhausted.
