The low mountain temperatures that almost killed Audrey Schoeman by putting her into hypothermic cardiac arrest for hours, also helped to save her life.

A 34-year-old British hiker has been revived in Spain after a six-hour cardiac arrest brought on by severe hypothermia, with the low mountain temperatures that made her ill also helping to save her life.

"Amazing. It's like a miracle except that it's all because of the doctors," Ms Schoeman told Catalan broadcaster TV3. By the time rescuers reached the couple two hours later, Ms Schoeman's body temperature had dropped to 18 degrees Celsius and when she reached the hospital, she had no vital signs."But we knew that, in the context of hypothermia, Audrey had a chance of surviving."
