Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine

CHAPTER III
78/99

Ten minutes after her last respiration the Cesarean section was performed and a living male child delivered.

This infant was nourished with the aid of a spoon, but it died in twenty-five hours in consequence of its premature birth and enfeebled vitality.
Green speaks of a woman, nine months pregnant, who was run over by a heavily laden stage-coach in the streets of Southwark.

She died in about twenty minutes, and in about twenty minutes more a living child was extracted from her by Cesarean section.

There was a similar case in the Hopital St.Louis, in Paris, in 1829; but in this case the child was born alive five minutes after death.

Squire tells of a case in which the mother died of dilatation of the aorta, and in from twenty to thirty minutes the child was saved.
