CI Case 231
Cryonics Institute Case Report for Patient Number 231
CI patient #231 was a 94 year old male from Texas. The patient was a CI member and in a nursing home at the time of his death.
The patient died on September 26th 2022. Because CI was not notified of the patient’s condition in advance and no preparations could be made with the nursing home, and due to delays in airline flights, the patient was straight frozen without cryoprotective solutions. The patient arrived at the CI facility on September 29, 2022.
The patient was then transferred to the computer controlled cooling chamber to cool to liquid nitrogen temperature. The human dry ice program was selected and the time needed to cool the patient to liquid nitrogen temperature was 25 hours. The patient was then placed in a cryostat for long-term cryonic storage.
