Decreased LOC occurs when the heart can’t overcome the pressure in the brain to deliver blood and oxygen to the cerebral tissues. In a healthy individual, blood, oxygen, and nutrients such as glucose are brought to the brain through both the vertebral arteries and the internal carotid arteries, which branch off from the aorta.

Now having the ability to store blood to use in the future was a huge advancement and saved countless lives.

Before blood banks were used during…
