The doctors were able to suspend the life of the people

Previously, the suspension of human life was just a common idea in sci-fi films. But now doctors at Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Medical College have been able to suspend the lives of some patients with highly fatal injuries to provide more time to Surgeons have time to deal with the problem, increasing the hope of saving patients. This is not only a turning point in modern medicine but also can provide many other applications, such as pausing life when moving to other planets light years away from Earth.

>>>Proactive suspension of life is no longer fiction

The process of life suspension is done through the technique of replacing a patient 's blood with a special salt solution of low temperature to cool the body from the inside. When wanting to "wake up" the patient, a heart-lung device used to restore blood circulation and oxygen helps the patient to re-perform the first life functions during the resuscitation process.

Samuel Tisherman, the surgical doctor who led the project, said: "We are suspending life, but we do not call it freezing because it sounds science fiction. So we call this an emergency maintenance and resuscitation measure ".

Another person who contributed much to the technical development, University of Arizona surgical doctor Peter Rhee said: "If a patient is brought to the hospital after he has died more than 2 hours, you cannot But if they are dying and you stop their lives, you will have the opportunity to save their lives after solving their health problems urgently. "

In 2000, Dr. Rhee made successful trials of techniques to suspend life on pigs. In a report in 2006, Rhee said pigs that had wounds seemed to die, but when they were temporarily suspended and treated, their chances of survival increased to more than 90%. Compared to the usual way of thinking, it was the pigs that had been cut off their arteries and body temperature that had reduced to the point where they seemed to die immediately.

Dr. Rhee said: "After doing the above experiments, the definition of" death "changed. Every day I worked, I often claimed that someone was dead. The effect of life, no heart rate, no brain activity, they will eventually be placed in bags for corpses, but even so, I still keep in mind that they are not dead yet. can stop death and have more opportunities to save their lives ".

With the above method, doctors can "freeze" their life technically for several hours with body temperature reduced to 10 degrees C. After treatment, their bodies will be brought to temperature. normal and enter the recovery phase.

Currently, the method has been implemented for 10 patients with serious injuries such as shot, stabbing, acute heart failure and the results are quite satisfactory. All 10 cases received appropriate treatments to save lives. Compared to the past, these cases almost died immediately afterwards.
