Abstract

The case-history describes successful resuscitation of a young man who was found after 15 hours following attempted suicide (intoxication with carbamazepine) in deep hypothermia (19 degrees C) with cardiac arrest. For rewarming the patient extracorporeal circulation was used. The patient was successfully disconnected from the extracorporeal circulation, relieved of the shock incl. severe rhabdomyolysis and intoxication with carbamazepine and discharged to domiciliary treatment without suffering from a neurological deficiency.
