A BRITISH woman says it’s a “miracle” she’s alive after surviving a six-hour cardiac arrest brought on by severe hypothermia.

According to Reuters, Audrey Schoeman went on hiking with her husband last month in Spain’s Pyrenees mountain range when she began to have trouble speaking and moving. Schoeman, who resides in Barcelona, eventually lost consciousness. As she and her husband, Rohan Schoeman, waited for rescuers, he thought she was dead.

“I was trying to feel a pulse… I couldn’t feel a breath, I couldn’t feel a heartbeat,” he said during a press conference.

It’s not surprising he thought she died because when Audrey arrived at the hospital, her body temperature was 64.4 degrees Fahrenheit (17.7 degrees Celsius) and doctors said she had no vital signs.

In this case, hypothermia actually helped her to survive. In fact, if her body temperature wasn’t so low, she wouldn’t have survived the six-hour cardiac arrest, doctor Eduard Argudo said. The doctor added that the cold temperature “protected her body and brain from deteriorating while unconscious.”

Doctors called it an “exceptional case in the world” and claimed it was the longest cardiac arrest ever recorded in the country.

Despit having no recollection of the six hours she was in cardiac arrest, Audrey didn’t suffer any brain damage. She was released from the hospital after 12 days with just a few mobility issues and sensitivity of her hands from the hypothermia, Reuters reported.

“It feels really incredible that I survived it,” she told BBC. “It’s like a miracle except it’s all because of the doctors.”

The 34-year-old isn’t letting the incident stop her from hiking in the future. “I hope that in spring we will be able to start hiking again. I don’t want this to take away that hobby from me,” she said.(SD-Agencies)
