Doctors experimenting with therapeutic cooling

"It's been proven that after a heart attack or stroke, the quicker you get medical attention, the better. 'After a heart attack, there is lack of blood flow to the brain and that lack of blow flow causes an injury to the brain and that injury can go on for the next 24 to 48 hours,' said Dr. Gary Bernardini, a neurologist at Albany Medical Center. According to Dr. Bernardini, a loss of blood or oxygen to the brain can cause permanent damage, but thanks to an experimental process called therapeutic cooling, the amount of neurological damage may be reduced" - News 10 Now
