Jump to
Edmund Goodwyn, M.D. (1756–1829) was an English physician whose medical school graduation thesis contains several important contributions, including the discovery of the diving reflex. He advanced early important arguments in favor of artificial ventilation for the treatment of asphyxia over alternative resuscitation measures of the time, like heat and exsanguination. In addition, Goodwyn was the first to refute claims that pulmonary circulation stopped during exhalation.
