Abstract
Maternal cardiac arrest is a rare occurrence. In this case report, we present a detailed account of a 37-year-old pregnant woman with preeclampsia with severe features who underwent cesarean delivery. The patient experienced dyspnea and hypoxia at 12 hours postpartum, leading to cardiac arrest in the maternity ward. Advanced cardiac life support measures, including 15 minutes of chest compressions, were performed until spontaneous circulation was restored. This study explores the underlying factors contributing to maternal cardiac arrest during the postpartum period. Additionally, it highlights the effective strategies employed by our multidisciplinary team in managing and resolving this critical medical event.
