The idea that cardiac death ain't permanent doesn't seem like anything particularly new; I'm no doctor and even I'm well aware of cardiac death v. brain death.

The idea that cardiac death ain't permanent doesn't seem like anything particularly new; I'm no doctor and even I'm well aware of cardiac death v. brain death. Knowing that, I ain't sure what's particularly stunning about these findings; maybe it's the part about possibly finding something better than ECMO at staving off brain death (or keeping other organs fresh after brain death)?
