Suspended Animation Inc. (SA) has provided SST (standby, stabilization, and transport) to Cryonics Institute (CI) members for years. SST is a crucial part of the cryopreservation process. When a cryonics patient is not near the cryonics organization, there is an delay in getting them cryoprotected. Even with a blood washout before transport, ischemic injury will accumulate. By doing cryoprotection in the field – at the patient’s location – ischemic time can be greatly reduced, improving the quality of the cryopreservation.
Biostasis Technologies (BT) is not a cryonics service provider. BT offers help to all cryonics/biostasis organizations to improve protocols and advance research. This episode focuses on a new option for Cryonics Institute members.
In this discussion, you will learn answers to these questions:
What is the difference between cryoprotection and cryopreservation?
How is field cryoprotection (FCP) different from current CI/SA procedure?
Why are FCP patients shipped on dry ice? Why dry ice rather than ice? Why dry ice rather than liquid nitrogen?
Which cryoprotectant is used for FCP?
Do other cryonics organizations offer whole-body FCP?
What do you mean by true whole-body field cryoprotection?
Why is this better than existing SA SST procedures?
How do CI and SA cooperate to deliver SST/FCP?
Why are SST and FCP more expensive than CI membership itself?
I am already an SA client. What do I need to do?
How do I ensure that my funding allows for new future developments?
What funding level is appropriate for potential FCP expansion outside of the US?
How do I change amounts between beneficiaries in my existing policy?
Can I pay for the FCP upgrade in cash?
Where do the SST protocols originate and how are they monitored?
