One of the most powerful demonstrations of Artemis SAR’s life-saving capabilities occurred during a drowning incident where a young man, Rabiu Rashid, was trapped underwater for 22 minutes. Thanks to the rapid deployment of the Artemis SAR Sonar, rescuers were able to locate him swiftly and initiate life-saving procedures. Rabiu survived without permanent injuries—a testament to the precision and speed of this technology
The miraculous story
It is Sunday, June 11, 2023. Rabiu visits Axamobadet with friends from the football club in Husqvarna. Rabiu cannot swim and has no plans to jump into the water but falls off the pier and sinks to the bottom. Attentive bathers see that he disappears.
The alarm goes to SOS, at the same time that people jump into the water to search but cannot find Rabiu, the water does not have good visibility. The SAR rescue service is quickly on site. There they use a newly purchased unique SAR-sonar system and with the help of that system they can quickly locate Rabiu on the seabed. He has then been under the water for 22 minutes.
Rabiu is taken by ambulance to Ryhov. His pulse is gone for over an hour before the medical staff can start his heart. His lungs are emptied of water but he is unable to oxygenate his body on his own. A doctor makes the crucial decision to send Rabiu in a specially adapted bus to the "Emco Center at Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm." Emco is a machine that can oxygenate the body via a membrane.
– For three days, only the heart was functioning in his body. I was in contact with the hospital every day. The situation was still very critical, and the doctors did not think it was a good idea to continue. – For three days, only the heart was functioning in his body. I was in contact with the hospital every day. The situation was still very critical, and the doctors did not think it was a good idea to continue.
The doctors' combined expertise suggests that hope is lost and they plan to disconnect the machines that keep Rabiu alive artificially.
Then the next miracle appears.
The doctors' surprise!
As part of the routine process, an MRI is performed on Rabiu's brain. The result shows that there are no traces of brain damage, which is in no way consistent with the 16-year-old's current state of health. The accident should have caused brain damage.
The doctors decide that the procedure should be repeated. The first available time for the next MRI is two days later, so the machines will be kept running until then.
The next day, Rabiu's lungs begin to function on their own.
After some time in ICU, he is transferred by helicopter back to Ryhov, still sedated with numerous tubes and hoses in his body.
On Midsummer's Eve, Rabiu wakes up.
Exactly one month after the accident, Rabiu is discharged from the hospital.
Today, he has to visit physiotherapists regularly to regain energy and strength in his body but otherwise has no lasting damage from the accident.
