ABSTRACT
We report the case of a patient who suffered two events of sudden cardiac arrests separately. Sudden onset of dyspnea and cardiac arrests occurred during cesarean section in a 35-year-old woman who delivered premature baby. Instant chest compression and epinephrine 1 mg was administered. She was diagnosed to have a placenta previa totalis with bleeding preoperatively and placenta accreta was noted intraoperatively. Cesarean hysterectomy was performed due to excessive hemorrhage associated with uterine atony. Another cardiac arrests occurred during hysterectomy. After instant successful resuscitation, she recovered her heart rhythm and transferred to tertiary hospital safely. She was discharged about two months later without any major physical or neurocognitive deficits.
