Abstract
This article presents a case of a successful prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed by the emergency medical services on a patient with general hypothermia (GH) and frostbite in the extremities. The resuscitation activities continued for more than 3.5 hours and resulted in a successful restoration of spontaneous BC. An extended CPR was performed while the patient was being warmed up (wrapping in a blanket and insulating pads, infusion of warmed fluids, gastric lavage and urinary bladder lavage with water heated to +45°C). After the restoration of BC, the patient was hospitalized and subsequently discharged without any neurological deficit.
