Cardiac Arrest in Pregnancy

Maternal cardiac arrest… a devastating condition! Techniques for maternal resuscitation have changed, even from when I was a resident. 30° left lateral tilt is no longer recommended by the American heart Association during CPR. Manual left uterine displacement is preferred! We’ll talk about this, as well as cover the basics of maternal cardiac resuscitation in this session. (Reference: AHA Scientific statement on cardiac arrest in pregnancy).
