Resuscitator explains what can cause clinical death
Clinical death can occur for various reasons.
Cardiologist-resuscitator Alexander Patrikeev said that stroke, pneumonia and infectious diseases can provoke this condition .
Serious injuries can also lead to the cessation of important bodily functions, writes Vechernyaya Moskva .
During clinical death, blood circulation stops and cells suffer from oxygen starvation.
At the same time, the brain continues to function, remaining the most sensitive organ.
The longer a person remains in a state of clinical death, the more brain cells die.
As a result, a person may lose the ability to perform basic actions.
Patrikeev emphasized that a prolonged absence of oxygen in heart cells and brain tissue leads to their death.
During clinical death, cells die from lack of oxygen.
In a prolonged state of clinical death, the brain ceases to perform basic functions.
