A rare medical event has been recorded in the Far East of Siberia, where a man managed to survive after being found without a pulse and with an extremely low body temperature, in extremely cold conditions in the Yakutia region of Russia.

According to local media, the man was returning home to the city of Mirny after spending the night outside. Exhausted by the cold and fatigue, he sat down to rest on a bench, but fell asleep as temperatures dropped to -20 degrees Celsius overnight. Passersby who saw him immediately notified emergency services, but his condition seemed almost hopeless. Doctors found that he had no pulse, his blood pressure was zero, and his electrocardiogram showed a flat line, which meant clinical death.

However, the medical teams decided not to give up. At the hospital, anesthesiologist and intensivist Dmitry Boshikov began a delicate procedure to bring the patient back to life, gradually raising his body temperature to avoid fatal damage to his organs and brain.

Over four hours, the man’s body temperature slowly rose from 24 to 34 degrees Celsius. Only after this level was reached did doctors begin advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation. After 25 minutes of intensive efforts, the monitor showed the first weak pulse. In total, the stabilization of vital functions took 5 hours and 34 minutes. The man was kept in an induced coma for 24 hours, and when he woke up, doctors were amazed: all vital functions were intact. After only five days of hospital treatment, he was released in good health, considered by doctors to be a “living miracle” of modern science.
