 Bågenholm arrived at the hospital at 21 : 10 . Her body temperature at the time was 13 @.@ 7 ° C ( 56 @.@ 7 ° F ) , the lowest survived body temperature ever recorded in a human with accidental hypothermia , until fellow Swede Stella , 7 years old , survived 13 @.@ 0 ° C ( 55 @.@ 4 ° F ) at Christmas 2010 . Dr. Mads Gilbert , an anesthesiologist and the chief of the hospital 's emergency room , proceeded with the resuscitation attempt . He commented on Bågenholm 's state : " She has completely dilated pupils . She is ashen , flaxen white . She 's wet . She 's ice cold when I touch her skin , and she looks absolutely dead . " Gilbert had treated many cases of hypothermia before because of the cold climate in Norway , and knew how to treat Bågenholm . The electrocardiogram connected to her showed no signs of life , but Gilbert knew patients should be " warmed up before you declare them dead " . He and his team hoped Bågenholm 's brain had received enough oxygen from the CPR she was given after her rescue .
