Cryonics glossary
- 21CM: 21st Century Medicine, Inc.
- ATP: Adenosine Triphosphate.
- BBB: Blood Brain Barrier.
- CNS: Central Nervous System.
- Corpscicle: See Patient.
- CPB: Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
- CPA: CryoProtectant Agent.
- CPS: 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.
- Dewar: A container used to store Liquid Nitrogen. It consists of two containers, separated by a vacuum jacket in the middle. The vacuum provides isolation by preventing convective heat exchange.
- ECMO: Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.
- EM: Electron Microscope or Electron Microscopy.
- EMS: Emergency Medical System.
- HD: Hemodialysis.
- HLM: Heart Lung Machine.
- ICP: Intracranial Pressure.
- ITS: Intermediate Temperature Storage.
- LAPC: Liquid Assisted Pulmonary Cooling.
- 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.
- Neuro: A type of patient for which only the head is stored.
- NMR: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.
- O2: Oxygen.
- Patient: A cadaver under the custody of a cryonics organization.
- Perfuse: Infuse an organ or system with a fluid, in the case of cryonics, Cryoprotectant solutions.
- Perfusate: The solution that is used for perfusion.
- SAH: Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.
- SCA: Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
- Tg: The glass transition temperature.
- PIB: Portable Ice Bath.
- Whole Body: A type of patient for which the whole body is cryopreserved and stored.
- WBE: Whole Brain Emulation.
