【 摘 要 】

Cardiac arrest is relatively an uncommon event during cesarean sections. That’s why obstetric teams have low exposure to these critical situations and need frequent training in early identification, differential diagnosis and treatment. We present a case report of a 36-year-old woman, who underwent cesarean section under spinal anesthesia due to delayed labor progress. Once the skin incision was performed the patient underwent asystole. There is a wide range of etiologies for maternal cardiac arrest. We describe and analyze the possible etiologies that could have led to cardiac arrest in this particular case.
