    AbstractThis case study emphasises the multiple factors that may be involved in the precipitation of electromechanical dissociation, which are compounded by additional problems that relate to pregnancy. It reinforces the value of the tracheal route for drug administration when a central vein is not cannulated and stresses the importance of posture and early consideration of Caesarean section in the pre-term gravid patient who has sustained a cardiac arrest.
