Abstract

A case of near drowning of a 37-year-old female in cold sea water is reported. She was rescued after 30 minutes from a depth of 11 meters and resuscitation was successful. The case is to demonstrate that successful resuscitation is possible in adults even after such a long period of cold water immersion adequate rescue and treatment assumed. But if fast decompression during rescue from great depths occurs, one has to be aware of typical complications (air embolism, barotrauma).
