Pregnant Woman and Newborn Die After Emergency Home Cesarean in Murcia

A police-escorted transfer after a field cesarean underscores the urgency of the response.

Overview

  • A 28-year-old in Beniel choked at home, and her partner called Spain’s 1-1-2 line as she was about 30 weeks pregnant.
  • Paramedics judged a vital threat to both patients and performed an emergency cesarean in the flat, delivering a live but very premature infant.
  • Four ambulances responded, including two advanced life-support units, and a 061 doctor guided phone CPR while crews worked on scene for roughly two hours or more.
  • Police on motorbikes and patrol cars escorted the ambulance to Virgen de la Arrixaca Hospital in Murcia to clear traffic and speed the trip.
  • Both patients were admitted to intensive care and later died, according to the regional Health Ministry, and the Red Cross sent a psychological support team to the family.
