That's what I'm thinking.The_ModeRazor said:Wait, doesn't your brain get damaged if there's no oxygen for it for like, 10 minutes?

That's assuming that there's enough blood left in the wounded soldier to keep them alive until they can be treated (as it is meant to help combat blood loss, after all).paulgruberman said:If I recall correctly, oxygen use/needs are reduced while sleeping, and further reduced in a coma. If the suspended animation state has similar effects, the brain may last longer on what's left in the nearby blood.

Interesting.
Just last week I read in my neurology book that hemmorhage-based strokes are nigh untreatable and almost always fatal. How about using the damn stuff to stop regular folks from dying?Once again I'm saddened by the prevalence of military application over civilian use.
