So researchers have come up with this "potion" of gas filled microparticles that can oxygenate blood quickly. So you have a blocked trachea they can inject this and have 15 to 30 minutes to get shit done without the risk of cardiac arrest or brain damage. This is some cool ass futuristic shit right here.
John Kheir, MD, of the Department of Cardiology at Boston
Children's Hospital says,
"The microparticle solutions are portable and could stabilize patients in emergency situations, buying time for paramedics, emergency clinicians or intensive care clinicians to more safely place a breathing tube or perform other life-saving therapies."
"This is a short-term oxygen substitute -- a way to safely inject oxygen gas to support patients during a critical few minutes," he says. "Eventually, this could be stored in syringes on every code cart in a hospital, ambulance or transport helicopter to help stabilize patients who are having difficulty breathing."
