- She required resuscitation and ECMO treatment at Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center.

A woman in her 40s, a mother of eight, underwent prolonged resuscitation and was connected to an ECMO machine after developing a rare complication during childbirth at Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center in Bnei Brak on Thursday. The woman, who had no pre-existing conditions, suffered from amniotic fluid embolism, a rare and unpredictable obstetric complication. A senior multidisciplinary team fought for her life, and she was later transferred to the intensive care unit at Sheba Medical Center for further treatment.
The baby girl was safely delivered during the incident and is in good condition, remaining at Mayanei Hayeshua for observation. The hospital stated it would continue to support the family and wished the mother a full recovery.
Amniotic fluid embolism is a dangerous and uncommon pregnancy complication, occurring in approximately 1 in 20,000 to 80,000 births. It can cause severe instability in the circulatory and respiratory systems, with a maternal mortality rate between 13% and 30%.
This incident follows a series of similar tragic events in recent years, including the death of a 30-year-old mother and her fetus at Sheba Medical Center two weeks ago, and the death of a woman in her advanced pregnancy at Soroka Hospital in August. In 2018, a 33-year-old woman experienced cardiac arrest due to amniotic fluid embolism during labor at Shaare Zedek Medical Center; while her baby was born healthy via emergency C-section, the mother's condition was critical.
