Today we had a test on cryo-freeze.
It was all about what to do and not do, such as how to recognize "freeze fail" where the subject is very "out of it".
The way to recognize it is if the subject doesn't respond to questions, appears to have memory loss or is unable to stand even after 20 minutes out of freeze.
If you think someone has cryo-freeze you have to get them back into the cryo chamber and freeze them for about a day while observing them and giving medical attention if needed.
It's usually permanent if not fixed after refreezed.
Another thing we were tested about was what to do after we are released from cryogenic-freezing.
When you are released from cryo treatment you should begin rubbing yor wrists and ankles gently to circulate blood faster while your "thawing".
Also do not eat for at least 4 hours after freezing no matter how hungry you are, it can cause serious organ damage since they might not have thawed yet.
That's the two main subjects we were tested on, I'm not sure how much more we have to go through but I assume they have to test us more to weed out the unsuitable astronauts.
