A Clinically Dead Child “Has Met Great Grandmother in Heaven”

While playing around a lake located in his grandparents’ house in the city aproierea Lychen German, Paul fell into its waters. It was found later, breathless, by his grandfather, who pulled the shore and tried to resuscitate him without success by mouth to mouth respiration and heart massage.

A helicopter then transported Paul Buch Helios Hospital, where doctors have also tried in vain to revive him. After three hours and eighteen minutes of clinical death, doctors were about to give up, when a miracle happened. Defying all medical law, the boy’s heart started again, suddenly, to beat.

It seems that the lake water was very cold and the internal temperature fell to Paul’s 28 degrees, compared to the normal 37 degrees. If the temperature were higher, the team resuscitation attempts were stopped after only 40 minutes, because the boy’s brain was certainly dead. But low temperature slowed the metabolic functions of the body, allowing survival with low oxygen.

“Basically this job for 30 years and no such thing happened to me. It seems that the human body is a very persistent organism and must never give up the revive. The boy is happy and healthy and told his parents:” I was in heaven with my grandmother Emmie. I said I have to go back sooner, “said Professor Lothar Schweigerer pediatrician from Helios Hospital Buch.
