Abstract
(Ann Intern Med. 2023;176:472–479)
Cardiac arrest is a rare but serious complication in the parturient and is associated with very poor outcomes. The objective of this study was to assess the incidence of cardiac arrest from 2017 to 2019 in the United States by patient demographics, co-morbidity, and type and size of hospital. This analysis can aid in identifying strategies to reduce pregnancy-related maternal morbidity and mortality.
