Sam Parnia |
Among the various specialties that exist in the world of medicine, may be this specialization, the most saves lives at once most horror, ie: resurrection or raise the dead. There was a doctor from British who specializes in this specialization. Sam Parnia MD is the doctor's name. Resurrection is meant, actually is using various resuscitation techniques for working hard to save the lives of patients who are declared dead. This doctor reportedly could meresusitasi the patients who had been dead during the few hours.
Parnia is the head of intensive care at Stony Brook University Hospital, New York. Patients who suffered a heart attack at the hospital where Parnia that works has 33% chance to be saved. Whereas the average of hospital in the United States only has the possibility of stuck at 16% or less. According to him with the methods is quite simple, Parnia sure can restore the vital processes and save 40,000 people patients in the U.S. and maybe 10,000 people in the UK. So it is not surprising that if Parnia study in England then moved to the United States in 2005.
"A heart attack is quite easily managed. If you can manage the dying process correctly, then you go in, take the clot, placing stents, heart will function. Same thing work for infection, pneumonia or whatever. People who do not respond to antibiotics during some time , we can keep to some time until respond, "said Parnia. Parnia confidence is supported by his experience during the 20 years handle intensive care unit. He receive training in London when has happened a lot of advances in resuscitation techniques. For example, the cooling of corpse to slow nerve damage and maintenance of oxygen levels to the brain.
Parnia explains that most doctors would perform CPR during 20 minutes and then stopped. The decision to discontinue the procedure entirely is the authority of doctors and are based instinct that after suffering brain damage, doctors do not want to see her patients living with disabling conditions. "But if you understand all the things that exist in the brain at the minutes it, then you can minimize the risk. There are many studies that show that if you apply all resuscitative measures together, you not only get a 2-fold survival rate , but these people do not experiencing brain damage, "he explained.
To meresusitasi with good, Parnia acknowledges that the use of the machine is much better than CPR performed by a doctor. The next step is to improve the care, ie with cooling the body to keep the brain cells that were in the process of apoptosis or suicide. At the same time, the need to maintain the level of oxygen in the blood. This practice has become a standard the emergency room in Japan. Using a technique called ECMO, the patient's blood is declared dead, will be sucked out of the body and then is inserted through a membrane oxygenator and pumped again.
This method can provide the time needed to fix the underlying problem that caused the death of the patient. If the level of oxygen to the brain drops up to below 45% of normal, the heart will not can beating again. Then Parnia seeks so thing it does not happen.
In this way, Parnia can prolong the dying process. Patients whose longest ever he handled, in the sense that most long after being declared dead by the doctor, is a person of Japanese girls who is declared dead during more than 3 hours. The girl successfully be resurrected after 6 hours and can live a normal life, and even reportedly now has a baby.
