Maintaining Cryonic Temperature
36:53 - 38:06 (01:13)
During the maintenance phase of cryopreservation, the body is kept at a very low temperature with the help of cold water packs or forced air blankets to avoid the formation of ice crystals, which can rupture cells. This phase carries a lot of risks for the patient, including arrhythmia and low electrolyte levels.
