Story
Warning : Animals were harmed in the making of this story With a shock to head, the animal was rendered lifeless and arose with a second shock to the chest; however, after the experiment was repeated rather often, the hen was completely stunned, and walked with some difficulty, and did not eat for a day and night; then later is very well and even laid an egg.

If there is ny evidence of damage to the central nervous system, further cerebral edema must be prevented. Some brain damage is evident if the patient does not immediately awaken. More severe damage is evident by dilated, fixed pupi s or persistent apnea. In such cases the body temperature i lowered to 32° to 34° C. (89.6° to 93.2° F.) and maintained for 72 hours or until there is no further evidence of cerebral deterioration. a c l s
Not all dying patients should have cardiopulmonary resuscitation attempted.
