The strange pregnant woman revived when the heart stopped 45 minutes

The 40-year-old woman in the US suffers from amniotic embolism after caesarean section, causing the heart to stop beating. A strange phenomenon occurred when after nearly an hour of cardiac arrest, the woman regained consciousness and recovered quickly.

The pregnant woman in America revived after 45 minutes of cardiac arrest

A strange phenomenon in the US state of Florida that happened in late September last year was a miraculous resurrection after 45 minutes of cardiac arrest, 40-year-old Ruby Graupera-Cassimi , surprised many people.

This true story happened at Boca Raton Regional Hospital on September 23. After welcoming her first healthy baby by caesarean birth, Graupera-Cassimiro unfortunately encountered one of the scariest obstetric complications - Amniocentesis. The hospital's medical staff worked hard for 3 hours in the hope of saving a woman from this critical situation.

Strange phenomenon in the case of women with amniotic fluid caused the heart to stop nearly 1 hour but still survived

But after more than two hours, Ruby's heart stopped beating . The medical team pressed Ruby's chest hard and used electric shock to restore the heart's activity. But all their efforts do not bring results.

However, when doctors prepared to announce bad news to the family, the miracle happened. A "beep" sound comes from the heart monitor. Then the same sounds appear. Ruby's heart bounced back unexpectedly, shocking the doctors and nurses. By that time, Ruby's heart had stopped beating for 45 minutes . Doctors said Ruby was suffering from amniotic fluid embolism and a very high death rate.

Ruby herself thought that she had just woken up after the caesarean birth , but did not know that she had just returned from the dead. When everyone screamed, crying with joy, Ruby was surprised. The last thing Ruby remembers was that she felt stuffy and then fell asleep. She had a strange dream and then, Ruby said that death was not as scary as she thought.

Pregnant women resurrected after 45 minutes of cardiac arrest is a rare phenomenon

This woman's revival is a story that contains two miracles . Surviving after the ' attack ' was rare, so Graupera-Cassimiro did the unthinkable - completely 100% recoverable without any sequelae.

Amniotomy occurs when amniotic fluid enters the mother's blood , causing hypotension, hypoxia, scattered intravascular coagulation, massive hemorrhage and rapid death afterwards. Although amniotic fluid accounts for only 1 / 20,000 - 1 / 30,000 women, the mortality rate is very high at 70-90% because it is unpredictable and difficult to prevent.

If passed, more than 85% of mothers suffer from nerve damage due to brain hypoxia. Particularly for the fetus, the number of deaths ranges from 20 to 60% and if lucky to survive, 50% of children suffer from severe neurological sequelae. However, after a month of returning from the hospital, Ruby Graupera-Cassimiro's condition was still completely normal, without any complications.

As explained by doctors, theoretically, because Ruby's brain does not receive blood for 45 minutes, her thinking and cognitive abilities must be reduced. But in fact her thinking activity has not changed compared to before. Bruises (because of a nurse's strong chest compressions) and burns (due to electric shock) do not appear on Ruby's chest. Until now, the medical community across the United States and the world have yet to explain why Ruby's heart beats back.
