title: [Hysterectomy after cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients with obstetric hemorrhagic shock].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the indication of hysterectomy after successful resuscitation of cardiac arrest due to obstetric hemorrhagic shock.
  
  
  METHODS
  A retrospective analysis was conducted in 13 patients with cardiac arrest due to obstetric hemorrhagic shock in 7 hospitals of Guangzhou, including 12 patients undergoing hysterectomy and 1 undergoing uterine artery embolization.
  
  
  RESULTS
  s After successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation, only 4 of the 13 patients undergoing hysterectomy or uterine artery embolization for continuing uterus hemorrhage survived.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Detailed plans and emergency measures should be formulated in the management of high-risk pregnancies. Early diagnosis and active treatment of obstetric hemorrhagic shock with hysterectomy or uterine artery embolization are critical in preventing cardiac arrest and improving the survival of the patients.
