It is true that there have been some case reports but it is uncertain how many of these might have happened anyway, e.g. associated with abruption. Clark et al AmJOG 1995;172:1158-69 analysed the US national registry of amniotic fluid embolism and found no direct causative link. The effectiveness and overall safety of amnio-infusion is confirmed by Joseph Ouzanian's excellent review chapter in Bailliere's Clin Obs & Gyn on 'Intrapartum Surveillance', out this month.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
