Check it out>>>>Outside the hospital; Ideally; basic and advanced life support should be applied, using automated external defibrillators. In case of foreign body airway obstruction, chest ( sternal) thrust and finger sweep of the mouth can be used in pregnant woman instead of abdominal thrust. For airway protection the use of cricoid pressure during ventilation should reduce the incidence of aspiration, the chest compression should be performed while an assistant is lifting the uterus away from the great vessels. This can be done by manual lifting or wedging the body by pillows under the right side of the abdomen or abdominal flanks. A second rescuer should lift the body of the victim by sliding his knee joints under the flanks of the abdomen or the pelvis while he is in the kneeling position beside the body.

Inside the hospital; basic and advanced cardiac life support should be followed as usual, i.e. Activating the emergency services, early CPR, early defibrillation and stabilization. Due to the special risk of gastric aspiration, early endotracheal intubation is recommended in order to protect the trachea. Immediate cesarean delivery should be done in order to save both the mother and child, many reports indicated the importance of immediate delivery for the good outcome of the resuscitation. There is a case report which indicated the importance of immediate delivery within four minutes of the cardiac arrest gave the best outcome for mother and child, and there is another case report which showed good result even after prolonged resuscitation for twenty minutes.7,8>>>
