Experiments in the Revival of Organisms (俄語：Эксперименты по оживлению организма) 是一部1940年的電影，該電影記錄了蘇聯學者對試圖復活已臨床死亡的有機體的研究工作。現在該影片屬於 公有領域。這些手術由謝爾蓋·布留霍年科和鮑里斯·列文斯科夫斯基完成，他們當時正在向位於莫斯科的第二屆俄羅斯病理學家大會展示一種稱為autojektor的特殊心肺儀器，也稱為心肺機。該影片攝錄於同樣位於莫斯科的實驗生理學與治療研究所。 這種心肺機由Brukhonenko設計並製造，他在影片中所展示的工作據說開創了蘇聯史上在心瓣進行手術的先河。在影片中所展示的autojektor設備與現行的體外膜氧合設備以及腎透析系統類似。

Synopsis

Full English version of the film

該影片描繪並討論了一系列醫學實驗。影片開頭畫面為英國科學家約翰·伯頓·桑德森·霍爾丹陳述他如何親自看過電影中所執行的程序並挽救了戰爭中的生命。實驗一開始便展示了一顆與身體分離開的狗的心臟；4個相連的管後來被連接到器官上。在使用一種器械後，心臟以正常的、如同在機體內的方式跳動。然後顯示了托盤內的一個肺，這是通過使血液充氧的風箱來操作的。

Following the lung scene, the audience is then shown a heart-lung machine, composed of a pair of diaphragm linear pumps, venous and arterial, exchanging oxygen with a water reservoir. It is then seen supplying a canine head with oxygenated blood. The head is presented with external stimuli, which it responds to. Finally, a dog is brought to clinical death (depicted mostly via a graphical plot of lung and heart activity) by draining all blood from it. It is then left for ten minutes and connected to the heart-lung machine, which gradually returns the blood into the animal's circulation. After several minutes, the heart fibrillates, then restarts a normal rhythm. Respiration likewise resumes and the machine is removed. Over the ensuing ten days, the dog recovers from the procedure and continues living a healthy life. According to the film, several dogs were brought back to life using this method, including one which is an offspring of parents who were both also resuscitated.

Brukhonenko's decapitation experiment was remarked upon by 蕭伯納.

Brukhonenko developed a new version of the autojektor (for use on humans) in the same year; it can be seen today on display at the Museum of Cardiovascular Surgery at the Bakulev Scientific Center of Cardiovascular Surgery in Russia. Brukhonenko was posthumously awarded the prestigious 列寧獎.

Some commentators have questioned the film's authenticity, given that none of the more dubious experiments are shown in any full-frame shots. According to some scientists who claim to have seen the experiments in the film, the severed dog head only survived for a few minutes when attached to the artificial heart, as opposed to the hours claimed in the film.

In popular culture

• In 2004 MF Doom released his song Fall Back / Titty Fat (through his album Venomous Villain) which begins and ends with excerpts from the experiment. The music video for this song largely consists of segments from the 1940 motion picture.
• In 2009, the band The Paper Chase (band) used portions of the film in their video "What Should We Do with Your Body? (The Lightning)".
• A portion of the plot of 詹姆士·羅林斯' novel Bloodline is based on this experiment.
• The 1945 novel That Hideous Strength by C·S·路易斯 makes reference to the experiments.
• Polish poet 維斯拉瓦·辛波絲卡 references the experiment in her poem "The Experiment" circa 1967.
• 金屬樂隊's video for their song "All Nightmare Long" is partially based on the video, and shows Soviet scientists reanimating a dead cat.
• In the video game 絕地要塞2, a cosmetic set for the Medic is called Canis Ex Machina in reference to the Soviet experiments in 1940.
