focuses on science (‘--ology’) while our terms mean methods. Americans, however, may
think of ‘anima'as animation for Disney movies. A compromise would be to equate ‘critical
care medicine’ (CCM) with ‘resuscitology’ [

Negovsky's exsanguination cardiac arrest-arterial resuscitation dog experiments. Guy
Knickerbocker of Baltimore was also present, then working on defibrillation with Naum
Gurvich in Negovsky's laboratory.
