New methods for reviving cardiac arrest victims without or with minimal brain damage

I know that you need special training for CPR because, if done improperly, it's possible to severely injure (or further severely injure) the individual.

Years ago I received CPR training at the Red Cross. Never had to use it.

That's really interesting! I always thought it was a matter of the brain not getting enough oxygen.

Turns out the brain is damaged when oxygen is administered right after the heart attack.

It's great that these new methods are coming out.

Pretty cool. I wouldn't want to be the one on which these methods are tested but when I get old and need it, it'll be good to have for sure.

Unrealistic as it may be, however, I'd prefer to simply NEVER have a heart attack.

Ja well no s***. Who wants to have one?

I'm getting to be the age where heart attacks and strokes become more likely. Rather than hope for my brain to be preserved, I'll focus on prevention.

Remember to get plenty of good exercise.
