"Resurrection" stab through the heart - it is a myth, invented in Hollywood

Remember that scene in "Pulp Fiction" is not rabotaet




In films there are often dramatic scenes when a man thrusts the needle straight into the heart of another, after which the patient narrowly escapes death and is recovering. On screen, it looks great, but in real life, and such actions can hurt.

After such an injection to the heart will be a small hole, and you will bleed until I die - in this way a small hole in the balloon gradually breathable. Another problem - the light: the chances to make a hole large enough left lung. Not only that, you'll bleed to death, so also start to suffer from breathing difficulties.



There are much easier ways to deliver medicine to the heart. The preferred method is to introduce a drug into the vein of the majority of persons blood passes through the body about a minute, depending on the speed of the heart, especially the left ventricle. Minutes - it quite a bit, and, thus, the drug gets into the heart soon enough. If an injection into a vein for some reason you can not, you can inject the medication into any muscle, when it comes to the heart in about five minutes.

To date, modern medicine, there are no procedures that would require the injection directly into the heart. Even with the procedure, called pericardiocentesis, the doctor inserts a needle into the pericardial sac - the pericardium - and removes excess fluid exerting excessive pressure on the heart. However, doctors are cautious not to accidentally puncture needle heart itself.
