  • Title: Cardiac arrest due to uterine inversion during caesarean section.
    Author: Marshall NB, Catling S.
    Journal: Int J Obstet Anesth; 2010 Apr; 19(2):231-4. PubMed ID: 20219346.
    Abstract:
    We describe the case of a 20-year-old G3P0 woman who was delivered by caesarean section under general anaesthesia, complicated by uterine inversion secondary to undiagnosed placenta accreta and cardiac arrest requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Uterine inversion is a known complication of placenta accreta and is a rare occurrence at caesarean section. Similar cases have been reported, though cardiac arrest is an uncommon feature. The possible causes and management are discussed.
