Live and act

Negowski was born in Koselez in what is now Koselez Rajon in the Ukrainian Oblast of Chernihiv as the son of a family of teachers. He studied medicine and initially worked as a general practitioner. From 1934 he worked in the pathology laboratory for blood transfusion and did his first major research on blood transfusion and resuscitation . The Negowski Laboratory was raised to an independent scientific institution in 1948 and affiliated as a research laboratory for general resuscitation to the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences.

On the basis of his own research, but also the data of Soviet and foreign authors, Negowski demonstrated the importance of resuscitation as a science at the International Congress of Traumatologists in Budapest in 1961 .

In 1985 the first research institute for general resuscitation (PWRI USSR Academy of Medical Sciences) was founded. The institute dealt intensively with the pathophysiology, prevention and treatment of end states that are triggered by various causes such as shock, blood loss, myocardial infarction, drowning, electrical trauma, asphyxiation of newborns. In particular, the treatment with the etiology and pathogenesis of cardiac fibrillation and the possibility of stopping it with high-current pulses. On the basis of this work, defibrillators have been developed in the medical industry, which have gained general recognition and dissemination due to their efficiency and safety.

WA Negowski headed the institute until 1988 and remained an advisor to the institute until his death. In 1983, in addition to his Russian membership as an academic, he was also appointed a corresponding member of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts .

He died on August 2, 2003 in Moscow and was buried in the Khovanskoye Cemetery.
