Egypt reports rare twin birth after mother's death
A medical team in Egypt was able to save a twin from the womb of a mother who passed away approximately 20 minutes ago at Saqalta Hospital in Sohag Governorate. Upon arrival, the mother was in a state of complete coma with a stopped heart. The team performed an emergency cesarean section after detecting two heartbeats in the twins, and both were delivered and responded to medical procedures before being transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit. An emergency delivery is considered crucial in cases of cardiac arrest during pregnancy, aiming to save the fetus and reduce pressure on the blood vessels caused by the uterus. The American Heart Association recommends performing this procedure within five minutes of cardiac arrest if the mother’s circulatory system does not regain function, highlighting the importance of rapid intervention as a key factor in saving the twins.
