I found this really interesting

To Treat the Dead

It was in last week's Newsweek. I couldn't find it online then to blog about it, but apparently lots of others did, as it was the most e-mailed story from that issue (I know, what kind of librarian am I, that I couldn't find it--right?) We all have our moments.

Scientists have found that it isn't the lack of oxygen one has with cardiac arrest that kills heart cells...it's the resumption of oxygen. So they're changing the protocols of how to resuscitate a patient, with amazing results.
