Already at birth, abnormal conditions Samaa. The blood vessels that flow to the heart to connect in the wrong way. Should be, the blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the lungs into the left side of the heart. What happened, quite the contrary.


However, operated on the baby's heart is smaller than the size of golf balls obviously a big challenge to doctors from Great Ormond Street Hospital, London. Finally a revolutionary breakthrough was decided: the baby frozen to death.

Samaa is made of suspended animation. How, the doctor put the bag containing the ice around the baby's head - the blood is cooled from normal temperature, 37 degrees Celsius to 18 degrees using a heart bypass machine and the lungs.

Not only that, the doctors were also desperate to stop his heartbeat with a way to inject drugs and off the bypass machine. At this point, clinical, Samaa baby had died. His body was almost completely drained of blood.

Why Samaa must be frozen?
According to Dr. Hsia, the medical team must perform micro surgery. Because, they are dealing with blood vessels as thin as rice paper (rice paper). The only way that can be done is to freeze the body and stop the blood circulation for patients entered into phase hipothermia.

"It's like a baby plunge into a bucket of ice water. When the heart stops, we have to do surgery as soon as possible with high precision," he said. "There is no room to do the slightest mistake."
