Hi Mike When you put a piece of meat in shrink wrap, even at room temperature, it keeps much better and longer then meat that the air circulates around. Shrink wrap can keep meat at room temperature for very long times. It might be the case that shrink wrap and cold from just an electric freezer might keep things better than we do now. go into a grocery store and look for meat (like beef jerky) near the check out counter (not even refrigerated). It keeps for years. This really needs to be checked out. It just might lead to a protocol that can be done better then we do now and no need for liquid nitrogen? That would mean you could use some kind of perfusion, shrink wrap, then store in Alaska in the permafrost.

To: , Date: Sunday, January 9, 2011, 11:41 PM What we now do for whole bodies is to put them in sleeping bags (with the head in a neurocan inside). For neuros they are put in a cover with a draw string, then put in a can lined with dacron wool, with a lid that is wired on.

It seems that putting the patient in the protection of shrink wrap would increase the protection if it was done as quickly as possible along with everything else we now do.
