Particular attention is paid to two Soviet medical scientists who changed the world: Vladimir Alexandrovich Negovsky, the largest pathophysiologist, creator of resuscitation, and Naum Lazarevich Gurvich, who was one of the founders of the scientific school for the study of the electrophysiology of the heart and nervous system. V.A. Negovsky is known to doctors all over the world. He deservedly bears the title of father of national resuscitation. He developed a new approach in the study of thanatology and extinction processes, where the main factor determining whether a person can survive or not is the brain. It is the degenerative processes that occur in the brain, due to hypoxia during cardiac arrest, that can lead to disability or death of the patient. V.A. Negovsky proved that only after the death of the brain can one speak of biological death. Another great scientist N.L. Gurvich studied the electrical activity of the brain and developed new methods for the treatment of nervous diseases. One of the most significant achievements of Gurvich was the creation of the first electroencephalograph in the USSR - a device for measuring the electrical activity of the brain, which made it possible to significantly improve the diagnosis and treatment of nervous diseases.</p>resuscitationanesthesiologyintensive therapyimproved diagnosis of diseasesdefibrillationelectroencephalographреанимацияанестезиологияинтенсивная терапияулучшение диагностики заболеванийдефибрилляцияэлектроэнцефалограф1.Черкесов В.В., Руденский А.Р.
