Cheating Death through “Suspended Animation”

Anyone who understands anything about an ER knows that time is the most precious commodity in saving someone’s life. Doctors and surgeons literally race against the clock to get severely injured patients onto the operating table and hooked up to life support machines.

This method will cool down a patient’s body to about 50 to 55 degrees to slow down cell activity and place the patient in a type of limbo or ‘suspended animation.’ The new process could give doctors up to 45 minutes of extra time that they would not have if a body was kept at normal temperatures.
