AbstractPerimortem caesarean section can be decisive for the outcome of a cardiac arrest in pregnancy for both mother and fetus. We describe a case story of the management of cardiac arrest in early labour where perimortem caesarean section proved to be life-saving for both mother and child. The child was delivered alive seven minutes after recorded cardiac arrest, and the mother had return of spontaneous circulation one minute after delivery. The mother recovered well with no serious sequelae to the resuscitation. We discuss the importance of timely decision and execution of perimortem caesarean.
