Guest guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 From today's edition of Metro: A team at Safar Center in Pittsburg have taken live dogs, emptied their veins of blood, filled the veins with ice-cold saline solution. They then kept them in this state for three hours, checked there was no cardiac or brain function. After three hours, the saline solution was replaced with fresh blood and electric shocks restarted the heart. The dogs were revived without brain damage and appear to be normal.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Jaya Jagannatha Dear Ramapriya, Namaste In case you’re not in the know, this is how most ops are done nowadays. Put a strap round the limb where the op needs to be done, drain out all the blood, ensue enough supply of oxygen is there and “pump up” some when the heart beat takes a dive. After the op is done, strap taken off and the blood is allowed to flow back to that part of the body. As for no brain function, how can that happen? A Greenpeace propaganda?
