Human Hibernation saved One’s
Life
We all know that snake and Turtle can go to
Hibernation state. But can human being go into Hibernation state?
The answer is yes. Human being can go into
Hibernation state.
A Japanese man survived 24 days in cold weather, without food and water
by falling into a state of “hibernation”.
The Japanese, Mr Mitsutaka Uchikoshi, age 35, went missing in 7th
Oct 2006 after going with friends to climb Mount Rokko in western Japan.
He insisted on walking home after leaving a barbecue party, even though
his friends insisted that he should take the cable car. He lost his way,
slipped into a stream and broke his pelvis. He apparently lost
consciousness after that.
A passing climber found his body 24 days later. He had almost no pulse,
his organs had shut down and his body temperature had dropped to 22oC
when he was found. Doctors who treated him believe he lost his
consciousness after his fall and that his body’s natural survival
instinct activated, sending him into hibernation state as the
temperature on the mountain dropped to as low as 10oC.
Dr Shinichi Sato, head of the hospital’s emergency unit told the
reporters. “He fell into a state similar to hibernation and many of his
organs shut down but his head is protected. I believe his brain capacity
has recovered 100 per cent.” Doctors said they did not expect him to
experience any lasting ill-effects.
Experts say it remains unclear how the victim
managed his extraordinary feat of survival.
Professor Hirohito Shiomi of Fukuyama University said: ”This case is
revolutionary if the patient truly survived at such a low body
temperature over such a lone period of time.”
DrMike Grocott, an intensive care specialist at University College
London, said: “People can be profoundly hypothermic and survive for
moderate periods of time, but this sounds like an utterly extraordinary
case. I haven’t heard of one similar with anything like the same length
of survival.”
In 2004, a German research team found Madagascar lemurs hibernated for
many months each year.
In 2001, Canadian toddler Erika Nordby was found outside almost frozen
in sub-zero conditions. She was pronounced dead, her heart had stopped
beating for two hours. Yet she made a full recovery.
Base on the facts above, it can be conclude that Human being can go into
Hibernation state.
