Institutional review board statement: Having consulted on the specific issue with Professor Carlo Guinzburg-Emeritus Professor at Bologna University and promoter of the Index Paradigm - and then submitted this proposal as regards the subjectivity of randomness in scientific research, a protocol for a pilot study was presented to the authorities of the Joint Committee on Health Research and the Central Ethics Committee of the Province of Buenos Aires-the highest authorities in our region-for its approval.
Informed consent statement: Regarding that these victims are unable to give their consent during an “impending death situation”, quoted Central Ethics Committee proposed the publication in regional mass media to inform its population about that hospitals will adhere to this protocol.
Conflict-of-interest statement: The author reports no conflict of interest.
Data sharing statement: Consent was not obtained but the potential benefits of sharing these data outweigh the potential harms because, as mentioned before, Central Ethics Committee proposed the publication in regional mass media to inform its population about that hospitals will adhere to this protocol.

Abstract
AIM: To present an inclusion criterion for patients who have suffered bilateral amputation in order to be treated with the supplementary resuscitation treatment which is hereby proposed by the author.
METHODS: This work is based on a Retrospective Cohort model so that a certainly lethal risk to the control group is avoided.
RESULTS: This paper presents a hypothesis on acupunctural PC-9 Zhong chong point, further supported by previous statistical work recorded for the K-1 Yong quan resuscitation point.
CONCLUSION: Thanks to the application of the resuscitation maneuver herein proposed on the previously mentioned point, patients with bilateral amputation would have another alternative treatment available in case basic and advanced CPR should fail.
Core tip: The aforementioned inclusion criterion for the impossibility of stimulating K-1 Yong quan introduce PC-9 Zhong chong stimulation, so that the Shao Yin energetic level may be reactivated, restarting this biological pacemaker and the cardiac function. Diabetes increases risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases from 50% to 80%; and every three seconds, a diabetic foot is amputated in the world. The proposed study upon a prospective non-intervention group, considering the “patients that may be deceased”, states a Retrospective Cohort Study model that will allow us to efface the contingentiality of a possible “fatal damage”.
