Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

The Lazarus Syndrome is a very real medical occurrence. It is known in medical terminology as delayed return of spontaneous circulation after cessation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It was first reported in the medical literature in 1982. One plausible mechanism for this event is dynamic hyperinflation of the lung causing positive end expiratory pressure. Some other medical investigators have suggested that a return of spontaneous circulation might be due to a delayed action of drugs which were administered during efforts to resuscitate the patient.
