Promoting cerebral blood flow in cryonics patients
It has been shown that perfusability of the brain is significantly compromised after long-term (>5 min) ischemic events (the “no reflow” phenomenon). Improving cerebral blood flow after circulatory arrest is one of the fundamental objectives of human cryopreservation stabilization protocol. To that end, cryonics organizations administer the resuscitation fluid Dextran-40 and the drug Streptokinase to [...]
