Immersing people in state of suspended animation was previously possible only in sci-fi movies , but thanks to scientists from the United States this month fiction can become a reality.
A team of U.S. scientists is planning to conduct the first experimental test dive people into a state of suspended animation, the resource engadget.com. To achieve this, the researchers pump out the blood of patients and replace it with a special liquid, which lowers the temperature of the human body and its need for oxygen.
As patients perform 10 patients who are in a state of clinical coma after a large loss of blood, and whose wounds can not yet be cured by conventional methods.
"We will suspend life, but we do not like to call it" hibernation "because so it looks like science fiction," - say the researchers.
This technology is the introduction of living creatures in suspended animation was developed by scientists in 2000. Then the tests were carried out on pigs, and results of the experiment the researchers were able to revive 90% of the animals.
Scientists say that the purpose of the experiment is not the introduction of human state of suspended animation for a long time for intergalactic travel. The main objective of the researchers is to find possibilities of survival in severe human injuries and loss of blood.
