This story is receiving a lot of media coverage here and rightfully so. This young woman is very fortunate that her rescuers never gave up even after hours of CPR and really impresses upon the fact that sometimes, it is never too late to try and save a life...no matter how far away proper medical help and resources are.

The use of the Camelbak tube as a suction device is nothing short of brilliant.

I am sure that a lot of good will come out of this and possibly rewrite or enhance SOP's for not only SAR teams but also for hospital ER rooms.

All the rescuers; from the people immediately on the ground to the chopper crew to the hospital doctors and nurses are to be commended for pulling off the impossible that ultimately saved this young woman's life.
