A Florida woman has fully recovered after surviving 45 minutes with no pulse following suffering from a rare medical condition during a routine caesarean operation, it has been reported.

Spokesman Thomas Chakurda said that the doctors were preparing to pronounce her death when a blip on a monitor indicated a heartbeat but despite going 45 minutes without a pulse, Ruby Graupera-Cassimiro suffered no brain damage during the Sept. 23 ordeal, the Washington Times reported.

Graupera-Cassimiro gave birth to a healthy daughter before amniotic fluid entered her bloodstream and heart and created a vacuum, stopping circulation.

The mother is now at her home and tending to her new infant.
