Wife's CPR Saves Husband From Coma Twice

A father-to-be experienced a life-threatening heart attack, prompting his pregnant wife to perform crucial CPR. The incident occurred unexpectedly one evening, leading to him struggling to breathe and losing consciousness. His wife, Emma, then 39 weeks pregnant, administered CPR for 15 minutes before emergency responders took over.

At the hospital, Sam King was in a coma and described as one of the country's most critically ill patients. His heart showed minimal activity, but a fluttering detected via ultrasound motivated the medical team to continue their efforts. Three days later, his daughter, Sophie, was born in the same London hospital.

Upon bringing their newborn daughter to meet Sam, who remained unresponsive, his eyes began to tear, an event described as a "craziest experience." While the cause of his heart attack remains unknown, Sam has since recovered, receiving a defibrillator as a precaution. He is now back to his normal activities, including sports, though genetic testing and heart monitoring are ongoing for his daughter's sake.
