As discussed in a previous post, perfusion of the brain following long-term (>5 min) ischemia has been shown to be significantly compromised, particularly in subcortical regions. An interesting recent article by Ristagno, et. al in Resuscitation (May 2008) has added new data to the equation, using some of the most advanced technologies available for measuring [...]

The Autopulse presents an alternative to the (high impulse) active compression-decompression devices that cryonics organizations currently employ to provide cardiopulmonary support (CPS) during stabilization. The Autopulse uses batteries instead of compressed oxygen and is easy to set up and operate. Disadvantages include its cost, limited patient size range, and the modifications that cryonics organizations [...]
