Pre-request collection script does not send request

I have the following code in my collection’s pre-request script:

utils = {
    test: function (a, b) {
        console.log("asd1")

        pm.sendRequest({ url: 'http://localhost:8082/api/health', method: 'GET' }, (error, response) => {
            console.log("returned")
            if (error) {
                console.log(error);
            } else {
                console.log(response);
            }
        });

        console.log("asd2")
    }
}

And in the pre-request script of a single request I have:

utils.test("a", "b");

When I execute the single request, I get the log messages “asd1” and “asd2” but never “returned”
I verified that the API server was running by using curl locally
