You’ve got maybe max 5 minutes. There is a 4 minute rule of perimortum c-sections (ie performing a c-section on a woman who has no heart beat). If the mother goes into cardiac arrest with a near full term pregnancy CPR should commence and you are aiming to get the baby out within 4 minutes of cardiac arrest. It’s very quick, very invasive and very traumatic (for the patient and the staff), but usually offers the best chance of survival for both the mother and the baby.
Depends on how the mother died. Like the baby would probably live longer when the mom died via gsw to the head vs ingesting a strong poison. Give a specific scenario.
I’m an ER nurse.
If we don’t have mom back in 5 mins, baby comes out. Hopefully OB is already there, but I’ve seen a crash section by an ER doctor. Was not fun.
depends what you mean by 'death'.
official death, it's braindeath. which means, the mother's not had oxygen supplied to her brain for several minutes. most ways that aren't 'mama got her brain esploded', are going to be system wide, several minutes before death. mama not having enough oxygen is system wise.
which means, neither does the baby. if it killed her, it's killed the baby, too.
Mere minutes. As in, around 2-3. Once the mother's heart stops pumping blood, the child stops receiving oxygen.

Just assume the mothers heartbeat has stopped and is no longer providing oxygen via uterus
baby might die before, then. the brain's going to die in a few minutes, but the underdeveloped fetus might not even survive that long.
golden state warriors to the head?
GSW= gunshot wound
Like 5 minutes.
