I was at work reading some grants that the US Army was funding and was perplexed by what the title "Suspended animation for delayed resuscitation from prolonged cardiac arrest that is unresuscitable by standard cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation" meant. After doing some research, i found out that its for victims of heart attacks and hemmorhages. After the trauma, a liquid is injected into them basically freezing their insides in a state of hypothermia until they can be rushed to a hospital. Its a pretty neat concept for battlefield medics so they no longer have to carry defibulators, but instead can just carry a syringe with this formula.
