By CHRISTIANDOUGHERTY MELBOURNE: A Victorian and LUCIEVAN DENBERG man who was clinically dead for 40 minutes has been brought back to life thanks to an Australian-first resuscitation technique. Dandenong’s Colin Fiedler, 39, was one of three cardiac arrest patients brought back to life after being dead for between 40-60 minutes at The Alfred Hospital using two new techniques in the emergency department. It is trialling a mechanical CPR machine that performs constant chest compressions, and a portable heart lung machine — normally only used in theatre — to keep oxygen and blood flowing continuously to the patient’s brain and other vital organs. Mr Fiedler had a heart attack and was clinically dead for 40 minutes before being revived last June. ‘‘I’m so grateful, more than I could ever say,’’ he said. So far seven cardiac arrest patients have been treated with the AutoPulse machine and with the extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation system. Three patients have been successfully revived after being clinically dead for 40-60 minutes. Since his heart attack, Mr Fiedler has turned over a new leaf, quitting smoking and no longer sweating the small stuff. Currently the system was only available at the Alfred, but senior intensive care physician Professor Stephen Bernard said the results from the first two years of the trial were exciting and he hoped to eventually expand the system across Melbourne.
