Addresses modifications to maternal CPR and simultaneous coordination of the maternal–anesthesia, obstetric and neonatal teams.

Main contribution

This contribution organizes the discussion around a coordinated response for the pregnant patient. The maternal context requires preparation and collaboration across specialties; this page allows exploration of the authors’ proposal and return to its source. It does not replace complete clinical recommendations or, on its own, define a mandatory arrangement of three teams.

RCUK 2025 treats cardiac arrest in pregnancy as a specific circumstance and recommends a multidisciplinary approach to subsequent care.
