A little-known device is shaking conventional wisdom for reviving people who suffer sudden cardiac arrest: People may be able to go much longer without a pulse than the 20 minutes previously believed.
It's a matter of avoiding excessive oxygen going to the brain. I'm beginning to become skeptical of cynicism. |

A while back I read something about inducing hypothermia also helping preserve the brain during and right after heart attacks. If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun. |

The mouth-to-mouth is no longer recommended but the chest compressions, yes. I'm beginning to become skeptical of cynicism. |
