Patients to be frozen into state of suspended animation for surgery
Patients are to be placed into a state of suspended animation when they undergo surgery by using a ground breaking technique that freezes their bodies to the point of death.
Researchers are now set to begin the first human trials of the technique, which involves replacing a patient’s blood with a cold solution to rapidly chill body temperatures.
Surgeons are pioneering a method of inducing extreme hypothermia in trauma patients so that their bodies shut down entirely during major surgery, giving doctors more time to perform operations.
The technique helps to reduce the damage done to the brain and other organs while the patient’s heart is not beating. It also reduces the need for anesthetic and life support machines.
Researchers are now set to begin the first human trials of the technique, which involves replacing a patient’s blood with a cold solution to rapidly chill body temperatures.
The cold treatment, which is being developed at Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and is featured in a BBC Two Horizon documentary, will see patient’s bodies being cooled to as low as 10oC.
The normal human body temperature is 37 oC and usually humans quickly die if the core body temperature drops below 22 o C.
Dr Hasan Alam, the surgeon who is leading the research at Massachusetts General Hospital, said that often emergency patients suffering from gunshot wounds, stabbings and car accidents are on the brink of death anyway so by cooling their bodies so extensively it can protect their brain and organs from damage.
Dr Alam said trials of the technique in animals had shown it to be hugely successful.
He said: “If you drop the body’s core temperature and brain temperature down to 15 oC or 10oC you are talking about 60 minutes and even 190 minutes of protection.
“By cooling rapidly in this fashion we can convert almost certain death into a 90 per cent survival rate.”
Dr. Alam and his team are now preparing to use their life-saving technique on human patients for the first time.
This will involve connecting up a pump to the major blood vessels around the heart to remove the warm blood in the body and replace it with cold saline solution.
This allows them to cool the body by around 2 o C every minute, rapidly causing the body’s tissues to shut down.
At normal body temperatures, brain death typically occurs in around four or five minutes as, at low oxygen levels, cells start to produce toxins that ultimately kill them.
By cooling the body so much, the cells are essentially put into a state of suspended animation that prevents this from happening.
Dr Kevin Fong, an anesthetist at University College London, who presents the Horizon program said: “In a trauma ward you only have a few minutes to make a repair“.
“By inducing hypothermia in trauma patients you can extend that and giving more of an opportunity for survival than was there before.”
He added: “These techniques are essentially taking people to the brink of death and then bringing them back to life.”
A BBC Two Horizon documentary on Dr Alam’s research also highlights a similar technique already being used on heart patients at Yale New Haven Hospital in southern Connecticut.
Surgeons there cool their patient’s heart and brain to around 20 o C before switching off life support machines to allow them to perform an operation for up to 60 minutes before the patient is gradually warmed back up and resuscitated.
John Elefteriades, the cardiac surgeon behind the operations, has found that patients who have undergone this type of surgery suffer no long term impairment to their brain function.
He said: “The body is essentially in real life suspended animation with no pulse, no blood pressure, no electrical waves in the brain. We didn’t find any evidence of functional impairment after the surgery.”
Whats a good name for an organization that helps local farmers advertise their products?
I am creating a hypothetical company that would produce labels that local farms could place on their produce, dairy and meet products to gain better recognition in grocery stores. The idea behind the company is to make buying locally grown foods the “cool’ thing to buy. I want the company to have a really modern feel rather than the typical organic or nostalgic feel of most farming companies. I have been brainstorming for weeks and I am stuck and can’t come up with a name. Some ideas I had were local roots, home grown, and starting point but none of these are as exciting as I want! Any name suggestions would really be appreciated!
p.s. I am thinking of using planted next door as a tag line so something that works with that would be great
i would use the term locavore in the name.
