tl;dr: researchers discovered that pumping liquid perfluorocarbons, which can absorb large amounts of oxygen, directly into the anus of the tested mammals (not humans, yet) can help them survive even in low oxygen (or even completely deprived of oxygen, for 4 times longer) environments. The idea is that this will enable a less invasive way of ventilation for oxygen-deprived patients (i.e., covid-19) than tracheal intubation. It's even possible a patient could be ventilated from (pardon) both ends simultaneously. |
