Previous pregnancies were unremarkable, no episodes of syncope, difficulty of breathing and orthopnea. She denies having any medical problem. The patient had an unremarkable regular prenatal check-up, underwent an elective Low Segment Cesarean Section III, and after 2 hours post operatively, sudden jerky movement of the extremities were noted, followed by 3 episodes of generalized seizures with upward rolling of the eyeballs. There were no vital signs appreciated at that time. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was done. The patient was given inotropic medications such as Epinephrine, Dopamine and Norepinephrine which improved the vital signs to blood pressure of 90/60 mmHg, Cardiac Rate 78/min, assisted respiration. Cardiopulmonary arrest in pregnancy is rare occuring in 1 in 30,000 prenancies.

Trauma, pulmonary embolism, hemorrhage, hypertension, and infection are the leading causes of maternal death in pregnancy. | ||
