Death-Defying Revival Chambers

Doctors and Surgeons Look to Revisit Suspended Animation Testing

— April 2, 2014 — Tech
Many of us have heard about suspended animation in one way or another. Usually the term is used in cartoons and science fiction films as a way to travel through time or revive the dead; the process has even been tied to the late Walt Disney. Scientists at the UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh will look to use suspended animation to try and revive those who have suffered fatal wounds.

Turns out suspended animation is actually a real thing. It may not work exactly yet but scientists have an idea for how to use the science fiction surgery method in the real world.

What scientists and doctors would be doing is inserting freezing gel into the body instead of blood to stop all cell activity. After the body has been completely frozen, they would do all surgical repairs and restart the body.
Trend Themes
1. Suspended Animation Technology - The development of suspended animation technology presents disruptive innovation opportunities in healthcare and surgery, potentially revolutionizing the way we treat fatal wounds and revive patients.
2. Cryogenic Medicine - The use of freezing gel to induce suspended animation opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in cryogenic medicine, offering new possibilities for organ transplant and surgery procedures.
3. Revival Techniques - Exploring the revival techniques of suspended animation can lead to disruptive innovation opportunities in the field of resuscitation and trauma care, improving chances of survival for patients with fatal injuries.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - The healthcare industry can leverage suspended animation technology to develop innovative surgical techniques and improve patient outcomes.
2. Biotechnology - The biotechnology sector can explore cryogenic medicine for new advancements in organ preservation and regenerative medicine.
3. Emergency Medicine - The field of emergency medicine can benefit from exploring revival techniques of suspended animation to enhance the resuscitation process and improve survival rates for critically injured patients.
