Alcor Procedures
Alcor的冷冻程序
The purpose of cryonics is to preserve life. Alcor therefore intervenes in the dying process at the earliest moment that is legally possible. If proper procedures are followed immediately after the heart stops, then legal death need not impact the biology of cryonics or its prospects for ess. For further information concerning this issue
see Cardiopulmonary Support in Cryonics.
人体冷冻的目的是保护生命。因此,Alcor会在法律允许的范围内,尽可能早地干预死亡过程。如果在心脏停止跳动后立刻采取适当措施,那么虽然在法律上病人已经死亡,但并不会影响人体冷冻的实施以及冷冻成功的概率。欲了解有关该问题的更多信息,请参见人体冷冻中的心肺支持。
Cases with Cardiopulmonary Support
有心肺支持的案例
It is customary practice in medicine to discontinue care of terminal patients, and declare legal death, when the heart stops beating. The several minutes of time between when the heart stops and the brain dies (by conventional criteria) provides a window of opportunity for Alcor to artificially restore blood circulation and preserve brain viability even though a patient is legally deceased. Cryonics cases in which life support techniques are promptly used to maintain brain viability after the heart stops are considered to be ideal cases.
当心脏停止跳动,从法律上讲病人已经死亡,此时医学上的常规做法是终止对临终病人的护理。尽管病人在法律上已经死亡,但Alcor利用从心脏停止跳动到脑死亡这之间的几分钟,可以人为地恢复血液循环,并维持大脑活力。在人体冷冻案例中,在心脏停止跳动后,若能够立即采用生命支持技术保持大脑活性将是十分理想的情况。
Standby
Alcor strongly encourages members who are terminally ill to relocate to cooperative hospice facilities in Scottsdale, Arizona. If relocation is not possible, Alcor may deploy equipment and a transport team to a remote location. As a dying patient's condition es critical, Alcor personnel wait nearby on a 24-hour basis. This is called "standby." When the heart stops beating, an independent nurse or physician pronounces legal death, and the Alcor team begins life support procedures as described below.
