Perimortem caesarean section: A case report of an out-of-hospital arrest pregnant woman
Journal Title: World Journal of Emergency Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
In July 2015, a 39-year-old gravida 2, para 0 lady at 35 weeks' gestation was found collapsed at home and sent to the emergency department (ED) by ambulance. She had a background of chronic hypertension on antihypertensives and aspirin, but repeatedly refused inpatient treatment for her uncontrolled hypertension. She had received pre-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for 17 minutes en route to the ED, with no shock delivered by the automated external defibrillator on the ambulance. A resuscitation team consisting of two specialist emergency physicians and emergency nurses were on stand-by in the ED. One obstetrician and two pediatricians were summoned prior to the patient's arrival.
