A proletarian's hand book.

Perchance if evanescently suspending cerebral, cardiac and pulmonary activity could induce a proto-comatose state of suspension then stasis would be possible provided that homeostatic mechanisms maintained internal equilibrium and disallowed hypoxia / asphyxia and the like to occur.

What are your thought's thereof?

This is for students of medicine and those interested in the intricacies and dexterities of the inner workings of the hypothalamus and the progression of the vanguards of neurological science.

nincompoop · Answer

it is possible IF the oxygen exchange can be provided by other means.

nincompoop · Answer

cerebral is for executive, so that is not required in maintenance or mechanism of making sure cells get an adequate oxygenated blood supply to function

nincompoop · Answer

so we are left with cardiopulmunary, which is responsible for the flow of blood, blood, oxygen/CO2. if this mechanism is substituted by any other means just similar when one is having dialysis, then we are able to maintain proper equilibrium

nincompoop · Answer

thus avoiding hypoxia and asphyxia

nincompoop · Answer

so our primary concern is how to let oxygen into the body without cardiopulmonary involvement, then when that is determined, we need to measure at all times by using oximeter (maybe something better, but that's the simplest that I know of)

nincompoop · Answer

I don't know how stasis would be achieved and how for how long if it is achieved since cells would need to continuously require oxygen in order to do what it needs to do (functions).  we can perhaps slow the rate at which cells require oxygen, but that is still a complete oxygen deprivation.

nincompoop · Answer

I do know that in other animals like tardigrade, complete oxygen deprivation is survivable at prolonged periods of time.

nincompoop · Answer

i MISSPOKE
I meant in the second to the last post prior to this one that when the rate at which cells are slowed down or decreased, it is still NOT a complete oxygen deprivation or simply no oxygen at all (anoxia)
