Description
Cardiac-pulmonary arrest is a preventable clinical problem if detected in time by using early warning score (EWS) and treated promptly without delay. EWS provides a way to quickly and efficiently respond to emergencies in hospitals, allowing medical personnel to quickly assess the situation and act. The resuscitation in obstetric patients is particularly challenging, as it involves the lives of both mother and fetus. Being knowledgeable of possible causes and required therapies is a vital component in successful resuscitation. As physiological and anatomical changes occur during pregnancy, special considerations are required during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
