What procedures are used to cryopreserve humans ?
Once the heart has stopped and death has been pronounced it is important to cool the patient quickly, give cardio-pulmonary support (CPS), inject medicines to prevent clotting and reduce ischemia, wash-out the blood, perfuse with anti-freeze compounds and cool to cryogenic (below -130°C) temperature. For more details on procedures, see Cryonics Protocol − A Summary.
