Abstract:
A physician is standing with a patient; a nurse is standing behind them. Verso: WHO/7379.7380. USSR- Health Services. World Health May/Jume 1960. The Health of 200 million people: Resurrection. According to Professor V.A.Negovsky ( seen here with one of his rescuscitated patients- 7380) only five to six minutes separate clinical from biological death. In 1902 for the first time in history, an isolated human heart, which has been "dead" for twenty hours, was made to beat again by the Russian scientists A.A. Kuliabko. The laboratory of experimental physiology of the Soviet Academy of Medical Sciences has been working for 25 years on resuscutation. Experiments on dogs have shown that clinical death may last an hour instead of five ti six minutes. 7379:V.D. Cherepakhov, a patient brought back from clinical death, enjoys himself with his family.
