Delete non notable neologism, and WP is not a dictionary. Mayalld (talk) 13:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

I've added content to the page to indicate that this term is not new and in widespread use within the medical community over many years. Therefore it doesn't qualify as a neologism (which I presume is a term used by editors whose may be unfamiliar with an expression). As to whether it is non notable, I guess that for a western community in which the risk of such a process is 1 in every 50 individuals, that 2% of the population would regard this life-saving experience as highly notable.

 * Keep This is a stub not a dicdef. Sources are provided and so notability is demonstrated.  Neologism is not a reason to delete (just reword).  Colonel Warden (talk) 15:53, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge - with Emergency medical services. Not being in EMS or medicine, I am not 100% sure that there is not some major difference, but given the size of this article, I think it could be slipped in. LonelyBeacon (talk) 06:57, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge. JFW | T@lk  07:09, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Still neology; we have not have any actual external links, only cite by groups.-- Freewayguy Call? Fish 00:10, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
