| | Hemorrhagic Shock and Suspended Animation Program |
 | | Suspended animation research we are conducting, supported by the US Navy, for presently unresuscitable emergencies. |
 | | Safar in communication with Dr. Ronald Bellamy of the US Army, decided in 1984 that "suspended animation" should be explored, for transport and repair under protected cardiac arrest (if organ viability could be preserved), followed by delayed resuscitation using CPB. |
 | | The goal of our ongoing multicenter research program, is to induce suspended animation with a pharmacologic strategy feasible in the field, and continue it when CPB becomes available, with an ultraprofound hypothermic strategy, to achieve complete recovery after more than 2 hours of total circulatory arrest. |
