Abstract
Perfluorochemical liquids are inert, immiscible in water, and have approximately 20 times the solubility for oxygen and carbon dioxide as does water. When emulsified in a normal saline solution, they can act as an oxygen-transporting resuscitation fluid. Fluosol-DA 20% is the first perfluorochemical emulsion to be studied clinically. It can supplement oxygen transport in anemic patients, but no control study has as yet determined its clinical effectiveness.Entities:
