Abstract

Cardiac arrest in late pregnancy occurs once in 30,000 pregnancies, with survival exceptional. Among the factors mitigating against better outcome are the CPR expertise of the medical and midwifery staff, cardiotoxic effects of local anesthetics such as bupivacaine, and aortocaval occlusion. The current study was designed to assess if adequate chest compression could be exerted in patients tilted to prevent aortocaval compression and to assess the expertise in CPR of recently trained midwives.
