* '''21CM:''' 21<sup>st</sup> Century Medicine, Inc.
* '''ATP:''' Adenosine Triphosphate.
* '''BBB:''' Blood Brain Barrier.
* '''CNS:''' Central Nervous System.
* '''Corpscicle:''' See Patient.
* '''CPB:''' Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
* '''CPA:''' [[#Cryoprotectants|CryoProtectant Agent]].
* '''CPS:''' [[#Cryoprotectants|CryoProtectant Solution]].
* '''CPR:''' Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
* '''Cryostat:''' A custom-made, fiberglass storage tank of Liquid Nitrogen for cryopatients. It is not a dewar, due to the isolation being perlite surrounded by soft vacuum. It is used by the CryonicsInst.
* '''CT:''' Computerized Tomography.
* '''Deanimate:''' 'Die', but not in the information-theoretic death. A term used to describe cryonicists who experience legal death and are cryopreserved.
* '''Deep Hypothermia:'''10-27ºC.

* '''ME Case''': A cryonics patient who is autopsied prior to cryopreservation.
* '''MH:''' Mild Hypothermia; 33-35ºC.
* '''MI:''' Myocardial Infarction.
* '''MRI:''' Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
* '''MSOF:''' Multiple System Organ Failure.
* '''MW:''' Molecular Weight.

* '''NMR:''' Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.
* '''O<sub>2</sub>:''' Oxygen.
* '''Patient:''' A cadaver under the custody of a cryonics [[#Organizations|organization]].
* '''Perfuse:''' Infuse an organ or system with a fluid, in the case of cryonics, [[#Cryoprotectants|Cryoprotectant solutions]].
* '''Perfusate:''' The solution that is used for perfusion.
* '''SAH:''' Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.
