50 mins of no oxygen: Liver helps revive dead pig’s brain after heart attack | The key to the experiment’s success lies in incorporating the liver into a life support system known as liver-assisted brain normothermic machine perfusion.
Scientists in China have managed to revive brain activity in pigs nearly an hour after circulation ceased, thanks to the liver.
The key to the experiment’s success lies in incorporating the liver into a life support system known as liver-assisted brain normothermic machine perfusion (NMP). Furthermore, genetic analysis revealed that brains with liver support exhibited more favorable conditions for recovery, with lower activation of genes linked to cell death and inflammation. Incorporating the liver into post-cardiac arrest treatment could improve both survival rates and recovery outcomes, potentially revolutionizing how doctors approach resuscitation.
