/tv/ couldn't figure it out, so now I ask /sci/ if they could
How would you solve the predicament in this scene in Europa Report so that all crew members survive?

Scenario: During a spacewalk, 2 astronauts attempt to open up a frozen panel for maintenance. During the prying open of the panel, it unexpectedly snaps open and slices open the suit of Astronaut A, causing air loss. Meanwhile, Astronaut B had Hydrazine spilled onto his space suit during the ripping of the panel. Astronaut A has around 3-5 minutes before losing all suit Oxygen. Astronaut B has 20 minutes of Oxygen in his suit. Neither Astronaut is currently tethered to the station, but tethers are available. Full re-pressurization in the airlock requires 10 minutes.
The rest of the crew onboard has to figure out a way to deal with the rapid air loss of Astronaut A, while simultaneously ensuring that Astronaut B is also saved and the Hydrazine currently on his suit doesn't contaminate the air in the ship and fatally poison the rest of the crew. They failed in the movie.
Could /sci/'s quick-thinking find a way to save them?
