I've never heard of an amniotic dam, maybe there wasn't enough fluid in the womb to keep the baby healthy.

I've never heard the term. My guess would be that this is something that's been lost in translation (you know, like the old game of 'telephone' that you used to play in school where is started as one thing and ended up something different).
Rather than focus on that exact term, I would encourage you to find information about babies who are born at the number of weeks of gestation that your friend was at. If she was at least 36 weeks along, then the baby will probably need very little intervention. If it was more premature than that then there may be things that the family can study about premies to help them out.
As far as HIPPA, the new mom could sign a waiver that would allow her doctor to discuss her medical condition and treatment with whomever she allows.
It can be an especially hard feeling of helplessness being so far away and not having much information. Hopefully mom and baby are doing fine.

Sometimes an emergency C section is done because the amniotic fluid is meconium stained. Meconium is the waste that is in a baby while in the womb and if it is excreted prior to birth, then a c-section has to be done ASAP so the baby does not inspirate any fluid. Or, if her water broke and she was not going into labor, your friend may have needed a C-Section. HIPPA rules are very stringent, so chances are real good you will not get any medical information regarding your friend at all. If she is in the hospital, you should just be able to call her directly.

amniotic dam almost makes me think that maybe it's just the opposite and that there was maybe too much fluid in there? but i'm not sure. that would be something to ask your doc/her doc. I'd love to know what you find out tho!

That is mysterious, I have never heard the term and it sure isn't on any search engine. Did the doc mean "damn"? Sigh, I think the doctor needs to be asked again - part of their job is to make sure the patients understand what is happening, and part of what us patients need to do is make sure they tell us.
