They used an ambu-bag to breathe for him while they got the ventilator arranged and he lived. You could have your doc bag him while paralyzed. | |

| Feb 19, 2020 at 2:00 | comment | added | Halfthawed | I remember reading that small amounts of fugu fish poison (aka tetrodotoxin, which is isn't a sedative, but rather a paralytic agent) was used in ancient Japan to treat seizures, so that seems to be in favor of the idea. Of course, tetrodotoxin itself isn't a good idea because it's lethal, but it's the principle of the matter. | |
