A member asked:
After intestinal infarction and all organs shutting down is there a way to revive a person, besides reanimating them with epinephrine and dopamine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: No two cases are exactly the same, and life and death have complicated details... which means there is no correct answer here. People don't just get "reanimated" by a couple of drugs, if they are critically ill. If all organs are shutting down, that is one of the ways we humans die. A couple of drugs won't make the difference. However, "all organs shutting down" needs some detailed clarification.
