Prehospital perimortem cesarean section during cardiopulmonary resuscitation for traumatic cardiac arrest : Case report and lessons learned

© 2022. The Author(s)..

The following case report discusses the resuscitation of a pregnant woman in traumatic cardiac arrest after a fall from a height with consecutive resuscitative hysterotomy for maternal and fetal salvage. The report illustrates all lessons learned from critical appraisal amid new guideline recommendations and gives an overview of the published literature on the matter. Despite extensive resuscitation efforts, ultimately both the mother and the newborn were pronounced life extinct at the scene. Prehospital treatment of (traumatic) cardiac arrest in a pregnant patient as well as performing a perimortem cesarean section remain infrequent but challenging scenarios.
