X-Message-Number: 7236 Date: Fri Nov 29 05:55:39 1996 PST Subject: Re: Quality Control in Cryonics From: (Edgar W Swank) Tim Freeman asked about what measurements are made for quality control during a suspension. Answer: plenty, at least by the hi-tech providers like BPI. For an example, see the BPI report on the suspension of ACS member Jerry White. The report itself is in the Cryonet archive, but convenient pointers can be found at the ACS web page at http://home.earthlink.net/~cryonics/jwtechr.htm BPI (Bio-Preservation) Technical Report #9 A detailed Report on the Suspension of ACS Member Jerry White Part 1 (19K) Part 2 (18K) Part 3 (29K) Conclusions (17K) Figures and Graphs GIF's vary in size from 4-12K each. fig01jw.gif: Darwin EGTA fig02jw.gif: Femoral Arterial Cannula ... fig03jw.gif: Femoral-femoral bypass circuit. fig04jw.gif: Burr-hole location. fig05jw.gif: Cryoprotective perfusion circuit ... grf01jw.gif: Agonal Vital Signs/O2 Saturation grf02jw.gif: Transport Cooling grf03jw.gif: Transport Extracorporeal Perfusion ... grf04jw.gif: Transport pH grf05jw.gif: Transport Na, K & Cl grf06jw.gif: Transport Calcium grf07jw.gif: Transport Glucose grf08jw.gif: Transport Urea Nitrogen & Creatinine grf09jw.gif: Transport Creatinine grf10jw.gif: Transport Serum Enzymes grf11jw.gif: Transport Serum Enzymes Corrected for Hemodilution grf12jw.gif: Transport Urea Nitrogen and Creatinine Corrected for Hemodilution grf13jw.gif: Transport Creatinine Corrected for Hemodilution grf14jw.gif: Temperature During Cryoprotective Perfusion grf15jw.gif: Mean Arterial Pressure Cryoprotective Perfusion grf16jw.gif: Arterial Flow Rate Cryoprotective Perfusion grf17jw.gif: Cryoprotective Perfusion pH grf18jw.gif: pO2 During Cryoprotective Perfusion grf19jw.gif: Cryoprotective Perfusion pCO2 grf20jw.gif: Cryoprotective Perfusion Sodium, Potassium, and Chloride grf21jw.gif: Cryoprotective Perfusion Arterial and Venous Calcium grf22jw.gif: Cryoprotective Perfusion Glucose grf23jw.gif: Cryoprotective Perfusion Ureq Nitrogen and Creatinine grf24jw.gif: Cryoprotective Perfusion Creatinine grf25jw.gif: Cryoprotective Perfusion Lactate Dehydrogenase grf26jw.gif: Cryoprotective Perfusion Alanine Aminotransferase grf27jw.gif: Cryoprotective Perfusion Aspartate Transaminase grf28jw.gif: Cryoprotective Perfusion Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase grf29jw.gif: Cryoprotective Perfusion Alkaline Phosphatase grf30jw.gif: Cryoprotective Perfusion Glycerolization Notes about the above GIF's from Mike Darwin Paper Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=7236
