A woman in her 40s died from a rare complication during childbirth overnight between Wednesday and Thursday at Sheba Medical Center in Tel HaShomer. She was initially hospitalized at Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center, where medical teams managed to save her infant. The mother was then transferred to Sheba Medical Center and connected to an ECMO machine, but medical staff there were forced to declare her death. The woman, who had no prior medical conditions, developed amniotic fluid embolism during labor at Mayanei Hayeshua. "Amniotic fluid embolism is a rare and unpredictable obstetric complication," Mayanei Hayeshua stated. "The woman underwent prolonged resuscitation by a senior multidisciplinary team who fought for her life, was connected to an ECMO machine, and transferred for further treatment in the intensive care unit at Sheba Medical Center." The infant was successfully delivered at Mayanei Hayeshua. "Her condition is good and she remains for further treatment and monitoring at the medical center," they reported.
