Not breathing? No problem!
Scientists have created microparticles that can be injected into the bloodstream, oxygenating the body and allowing a person with respiratory failure to stay alive and well for 15 to 30 minutes.
The medical breakthrough, developed by a group of scientists and chemical engineers at Boston Children's Hospital, could have huge implications for keeping people alive because it adds precious time for doctors to operate on a patient who, for instance, had had his or her lungs collapse.
The breakthrough reportedly came when the team was able to put oxygen into tiny pockets of fat, creating tiny deformable particles that oxygenated blood cells rather than creating gas embolisms.
The microparticles can apparently carry several times the oxygen content of regular blood cells. Cardiologists and researchers think someday soon, paramedics could carry the life-saving stuff in ambulances. Next, we're going to see those weird oxygen bars get even weirder, with a new type of delivery system.
