Abstract: A 27 year old woman suffered a witnessed cardiac arrest in rural Iceland and regained pulse after one hour's resuscitation. She was transported by an air ambulance to a tertiary medical center in Reykjavik where she was diagnosed with a large pulmonary embolus. After 24 hours therapeutic hypothermia she was rewarmed and extubated two days later. She was discharged from the hospital after two weeks neurologically intact. This case illustrates that even in rural circumstances the chain of survival works if all the links are strong, with early access, early resuscitation and early advanced care.
27 ára kona fékk krampakippi og varð skyndilega púlslaus á Möðrudal á Fjöllum, fjarri heilbrigðisþjónustu. Eftir klukkustundar endurlífgun þreifaðist púls að nýju. Hún var flutt með sjúkraflugi á Landspítala þar sem hún var greind með stórt blóðrek í lungum. Hún var kæld í 24 klukkustundir og útskrifaðist af sjúkrahúsi á 14. degi án skerðingar á heilastarfsemi. Jafnvel við erfiðar aðstæður fjarri heilbrigðisþjónustu getur lífskeðjan reynst sterk þegar boð um aðstoð berast hratt, endurlífgun hefst án tafar og sérhæfð meðferð er veitt eins fljótt og hægt er.
