    AbstractOur patient experienced cardiopulmonary arrest secondary to profound hypotension and was unable to be resuscitated with external cardiac massage and assisted ventilation. This case demonstrates the need for continued vigilance by medical and nursing staff when epidural anaesthesia is being established. Resuscitation equipment should be available in the labour ward as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and immediate Caesarean section can be lifesaving in the event of a cardiopulmonary arrest.
