VentureBeat: Medivance takes a cool $23M for temperature management

  • Mark Wendman · 2 years ago
    I wrote the above linked blog post about Advances in Resuscitation Science (revival from [some] Heart Attacks etc), after a recent piece in Newsweek covering Dr. Lance Becker's focus on using cooling and reduction in oxygen to inhibit the mitochondrial induced death switch as one might call it, increasing patient survival rates significantly, through better (presently unconventional) post cardiac trauma treatment.

    Contrasted where presently the body is typically flooded with oxygen in present day misguided methods used to attempt patient revival, Dr. Lance Becker is helping to publicize better methods to help increase patient survival rates from heart attack and more.

    The linked article I cobbled together describes some of the overview succinctly, and has numerous links to journal articles, hospital protocols, and equipment suppliers for inducing therapeutic hypothermia.
