A British woman says it was a 'miracle' she was revived after her heart stopped for six hours when she was caught in a snowstorm

Dr Eduard Argudo said:"She looked as though she was dead, but we knew that, in the context of hypothermia, Audrey had a chance of surviving."Hypothermia, although causing her body to shut down, also meant her brain and organs had been protected.

Dr Argudo added:"If she had been in cardiac arrest for this long at a normal body temperature, she would be dead." In hospital, she was put on a machine that removed her blood, re-oxygenated it, and then pumped it back into her body. Then, once her body temperature had reached 30C , she was switched to a defibrillator. It was then that her heart began working again, six hours after emergency services were called."Probably this winter, I won't go to the mountains, but I hope that in spring we'll be able to start hiking again. I don't want this to take away that hobby."
