A Florida mother has fully recovered after her heart stopped for 45 minutes during a routine surgery last month.
Ruby Graupera-Cassimiro, a 40-year-old from Boca Raton, Fla., had just given birth to a baby girl via cesarean section when she suffered an amniotic fluid embolism.
According to the Mayo Clinic, the rare condition often occurs shortly after childbirth, when fluid around the baby in the womb enters the mother's bloodstream.
Doctors told Graupera-Cassimiro's family that they were powerless to revive her. They were about to call her time of death when Graupera-Cassimiro's heart suddenly started beating again.
"There's very few things in medicine that I've seen, working in the trauma center myself and doing all the things that I do, that really were either unexplainable or miraculous," Dr. Anthony Dardano, of Boca Raton Regional Hospital, told the Sun-Sentinel. "And when I heard this story, that was the first thing that came to my mind."
