Cardiac arrest is a rare event during caesarean section. Obstetric teams have low exposure
to these critical situations and need frequent training in differential diagnosis and treatment. A caesarean section was performed in a 36-year-old woman due to delayed labour progress under spinal anaesthesia. Once the skin incision was performed the patient underwent asystole. There is a wide range of etiologies for maternal cardiac arrest. We describe and analyze the possible etiologies that could lead to cardiac arrest in this particular case.
