Audrey Mash, a 34-year-old British tourist, was walking with her husband in the Catalan Pyrenees when the woman became ill. The husband called rescuers, but, apparently, the place was not very accessible and help arrived only a few hours later.

All this time Audrey had no pulse, no breathing and no signs of life in general. It is not clear from the Lavanguardia report if the husband tried to carry out the resuscitation on his own, but in any case he did not succeed. By the time the rescuers arrived, the woman’s body temperature was 18 degrees Celsius and she looked like a dead woman, and, in fact, she was.

In the clinic where the woman was admitted (or is it more correct to write about the body?), The system of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was used, with the help of which cardiac activity was still restored.

Amazing that they did that, and even more amazing there was normal brain function afterward.
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.

I'd be interested in hearing the lady's recollections of what happened to her during the time she was "dead"...
