Description
Takashi Hongo and fellow authors review rescue choices in 2026 when the heart stops during pregnancy. Two bold steps can be tried: delivering the baby during resuscitation, and using a heart-lung machine to take over circulation. Past reports were gathered from thirty-four countries across twenty-five years. The pool held 268 patients and 274 newborns, sorted by which steps came first.
Most cases used delivery without the machine, and outcomes varied widely by group. Favorable brain outcomes ranged from about a quarter to four fifths across groups, though machine-only cases were very few. Newborn survival sat near half to three fifths in each group. The review shows how thin the proof base remains for rare, high-stakes care.
