Doctors try to 'Freeze Time' for bleeding trauma victims in cardiac arrest
NCT ID NCT01042015
Summary
This study tested an emergency procedure for trauma patients who had lost their pulse from severe bleeding. The goal was to rapidly cool the patient's body with ice-cold saline to preserve their brain and organs, giving surgeons time to stop the bleeding. After surgery, doctors would then warm the patient back up and restart their heart using a heart-lung machine, aiming to improve survival without major brain damage.
