A few years ago, I heard someone's body temperature fell to 56 degrees F and was unconscious for 40 minutes but was revived successfully. I also heard last year that one hospital is tryind a new procedure where they decrease your body temperature to stop your heart on a procedure to remove a brain anuerism. At the end, you will be revived and re-heated. This is experimental and it might be a discovery, which is if your body temperature is very low, your brain is protected, you need less oxygen to survive, you can last longer w/o CPR, and the chances of revival are a lot higher. You would also be hooked up to an EEG to avoid brain death. You might still have brain waves even if the heart has stopped. This will probably be controversial as well.
