Cardiac arrests occurred among women in about 1 of every 9000 deliveries in a hospital from 2017 to 2019, higher than an earlier study’s estimate of 1 cardiac arrest per 12 000 hospital admissions for delivery. About 69% of the 1465 patients who experienced cardiac arrest survived to be discharged, according to data from almost 11 million delivery hospitalizations.
