Abstract
We report the case of a pregnant patient who suffered cardiac arrest a nd was initially unresponsive to resuscitative measures. Prompt emerge nt cesarean delivery of the infant was carried out, and both mother an d infant were then successfully resuscitated. We believe that prompt c esarean delivery is the key to maternal and infant survival in such ca ses.
