resuscitable

Able to revive

Resuscitable describes someone or something capable of being revived or brought back to life.

The term appears most often in medical contexts, where it distinguishes patients who might respond to resuscitation efforts from those beyond saving: The patient was still resuscitable when paramedics arrived.

It can extend to anything that might be revived: a resuscitable career, a resuscitable relationship.
