reading about sergei brukhonenko and vladimir demikhov today and we are just ππππ
#[ u know the heart-lung machine thatβs used during heart bypass surgery to keep the heart alive and pumping outside the body?
#these two russian surgeons were the forefathers of this technology that has saved countless lives over the years all around the world
#they made many medical contributions to open heart procedures and organ transplants
#but did u know how they discovered/tested out their invention?
#they connected the lungs of one dog to the heart of another dog with their machine
#...and then kept the decapitated head of the second dog alive for THREE hours
#thus proving that the technology works
#the dog head was neurologically patent and could respond to stimuli
#blink its eyes and twitch and curl its lips like normal up until its heart finally gave out
#ππππ
#then demikhov went on to use this invention to perform transplants...such as attaching a puppyβs head to another dog
#- making living functional cerberuses with multiple heads Β ππππ
#kinda have complicated feelings when I look at a heart-lung machine now ngl ]
#[ brb need to go hug and coddle my doggo all night now ]
