Audrey Marsh collapsed at around 1pm on November 3 when she and her husband were caught in a snowstorm while out walking in the Pyrenees mountains. Initial efforts to revive her at the scene had no effect and she was flown by helicopter to a Barcelona hospital equipped with an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine .
Similar to a heart-lung bypass machine, the ECMO has never been used in Spain for a resuscitation procedure, but by 9:45pm, her body temperature had risen to 30C and the doctors tried again to revive her, using a defibrillator.“It is like a miracle,” March told reporters in Barcelona at a press conference with the doctors who managed to save her at the resuscitation unit at Barcelona’s Vall d’Hebron hospital.
