CI Case 236
Cryonics Institute Case Report for Patient Number 236
CI patient #236 was a 71 year old male from Maryland. The patient was a CI member, but only for one day, and he was hospitalized at the time of his death.
The patient died on December 16, 2022. Because the patient’s funding had not been received before the patient died, and because there would be a three day delay before being able to confirm it, a decision was made to straight freeze the patient without cryoprotective solutions. Once the funding was received and the details for transit were in place, the patient was transported to Detroit Metro Airport, where he was picked up and brought to the facility. The patient arrived at our facility on December 20, 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.
