abstract="We describe a case story with a drowned, hypothermic trauma patient treated with an automatic mechanical chest compression device during helicopter transportation to a trauma center. After falling from a 25 meter high bridge into 2 °C water, she was rescued lifeless 17 minutes later. Advanced life support was initiated. During transport by a rescue helicopter, chest compressions were effectively provided by Lund University Cardiopulmonary Assist System (LUCAS). Upon arrival to a trauma centre approx. 60 minutes later, the patient was treated with extracorporal circulation and rewarmed. She was eventually discharged to her home with minor loss of cerebral function.<p /><p>Language: da</p>",
