A medical team in Najran (southern Saudi Arabia) was able to perform an urgent surgical procedure to save the life of a nine-month-old pregnant patient whose heart stopped for a period of three minutes during a c-section on Wednesday.
Saudi Health confirmed that the cardiac anaesthesia team at Prince Sultan Cardia Centre in the Maternity Hospital admitted a patient suffering from cardiomyopathy.
Clinical examination showed a high heartbeat rate which caused her heart to stop for three minutes. The team immediately started an ECT to save her life at the very last minute.
When her condition stabilised, she was taken to the operation room for a c-section, thereof she delivered her baby in a healthy condition.
