BRINGING THE

MOSCOW — Measures for averting pre-
mature death, means for reviving the life-giving
functions of the organisms, are being success-
fully developed in the material branch of the

JSSR sciences.

Soviet scientists are penetrating into the
secret process of death. When breathing and the
beating of the heart stops this is called clinical
death. Five to six minutes later biological death
sets in. If during the period of clinical death mea-
sures worked out by scientists are applied, life can

be returned to the people in many cases.

The laboratory of experimental physiology and
organism reviving headed by the well-known Soviet
paihophysiologist Professor Vladimir Negovsky,
has been in existence for over 20 years. Its scien-
tific workers have carried out thousands of experi-
s on dogs, monkeys, and other animals and

ment
e worked out effective methods for re-

they hav
storing the life-giving functions of the organism.

Doctors are applying the following method:
supercharge of blood into the artery, artificial
breathing, heart massage and special measures
for restoring the co-ordinated contraction of the
heart muscles. This method is widely used in the

clinics and hospitals.

Further scientific research of the problem of
revival is continuing. New experiments are carried
on animals. Soviet. surgeons are getting rich
e in using practical means in returning

out
experienc
life to those people who were considered hope-
~ Jessly doomed earlier because of a lack of human

knowledge.

has a living, loving mother, thanks to Soviet science.
