For those ten -year -old boys from Linz, who had sunk in the Wolfgangsee during the weekend, there is carefully news from the Salzburg University Hospital: he is awakened from artificial deep sleep, is accessible and hungry. Doctors speak of “a little miracle”.
Last Sunday, the ten year did not appear any longer after a jump in Wolfgangsee. Bathing guests immediately raised the alarm. Divers of the water rescue could mount the boys a few minutes later from a depth of approximately four meters.
Senior doctor happened to be at the scene of the accident
Happiness in accident: Valerie Kührer, senior arts for anesthesia in the Salzburg University Hospital, happened to be in the Lido and coordinated the boy’s revival.
At the Rescue Helicopter, Jochen Reimenwein, also anesthesiologist and emergency doctor at Salzburg University Hospital. He took over the young patient on location from his colleague and flew to the Salzburg University Hospital. Here the boy could be stabilized in such a way that it could be recorded in the intensive care of the children, where the team continued the treatment around the experienced pediatrician Johannes Brandner.
The Linz was ventilated for more than 24 hours in artificial deep sleep to stabilize its lung function. It was still unclear whether and what neurological damage he had dragged along. Slowly the doctors could wake the boy.
His condition was stable on Wednesday morning – the boy responded, responded to questions with corresponding answers and was already hungry. “In any case, we can be careful that he survived the accident relatively well,” explains Intensive Care Arts Brandner.
Medical team is happy with this “little miracle”
“From the alarm of witnesses, the rapid reaction of water rescue and the delivery with us here at the University Clinic: in this case it worked the entire rescue chain,” the medical team analyzes. The young patient is still checked for the intensive care of the children. His mother is by his side.
