Reanimation and "intensive treatment", by means of which the modern hospital is able to control the critical states on the borderline between life and death, have also opened up new aspects for pathology. The life-threatening phases of the illness have laws of their own for the course and other phenomena under the influence of intensive therapy. This will give expression to the term "vita reducta" purposely suggested for it. The intensive measures are briefly illustrated with regard to their possible general pathological effects and treated in detail, taking into consideration the constitutional basis of acute collapse of the cardio-vascular system and cerebral coma. Also, a critical attitude is taken on the often wrongly used term "clinical death" and especially to the problem of "intravital cerebral death".
复苏和“强化治疗”使现代医院能够控制生死边缘的危急状态，这也为病理学开辟了新的领域。疾病的危及生命阶段在强化治疗的影响下，其病程及其他现象都有自身规律。这就产生了特意为其提出的术语“vita reducta”（缩减生命）。简要阐述了强化措施可能产生的一般病理效应，并结合心血管系统急性衰竭和脑昏迷的体质基础进行了详细探讨。此外，对经常被错误使用的术语“临床死亡”，尤其是“活体脑死亡”问题持批判性态度。
