In short, yes; This kind of situation could be the subject of a movie or a book, but is it real? That’s done too! When you’re ready; Thanks to the machine he developed, he managed to bring a dead dog back to life. Let’s delve deeper into the story of the Soviet scientist.
A scientist named Sergeevich Brukhonenko broke new ground in 1928.
Many experiments and inventions made in the Soviet Union were astonishing and contributed greatly to the advancement of science and technology. The interesting and incredible experiment of the Soviet scientist Sergei Sergeevich Brukhonenko, which we will talk about, was one of them.
Those who have to bring a dead dog back to life; It was a machine called a ‘car projector’, with a dog head and two pumps. Consisting of a venous and arterial double linear diaphragm pump, autoinjector, a heart-lung machine that exchanges oxygen with a water tank; It sent oxygen-rich blood to the dog’s head.
The killed dogs were connected to this machine 10 minutes later.
The auto-injector slowly returned the blood to the animal’s circulation. A few minutes later the heart started to fibrillate and to a normal rhythm was returning. In the same way breathing also became active. Brukhonenko used 13 different dogs in his experiments, and 12 of them came back to life within 10 minutes of being killed.
One of the dogs connected to this artificial blood circulation machine a few slices of cheese He could even eat it. But of course they couldn’t survive forever with an artificial machine and a few hours later they died.
The experiments were recorded by the Soviet Film Bureau and produced for the first time. With a documentary that was made public in 1941 had been recorded. You can watch some of it in the video above.
This experiment paved the way for other things.
Sergei Sergeyevich Brukhonenko about dogs, again using a car projector open heart surgery performed and it allowed dogs with their hearts removed to survive for a while.
Brukhonenko was widely criticized because dogs were killed while he was conducting the experiments. because it is unethical The works were stopped.
