Introduction: Death from asphyxia is the leading cause for mortality in totally buried avalanche victims. The chance of survival is 91% when extricated within 18 minutes but drops to 34% when burial time exceeds 35 minutes. Extrication and resuscitation measures must be initiated by companions, as survival chances are significantly higher. Until now no study has analysed different time points, where the victim's airway could be accessed or BLS-CPR was possible. The aim of the present study was to investigate the duration of separate time points during companion avalanche rescue and elucidate factors determining…
