Oxygen-infused microparticles could keep patients alive with breathing

Oxygen-infused microparticles could keep patients alive with breathing

Researchers at Boston Children's Hospital were able to design tiny, gas-filled microparticles that can be injected directly into the bloodstream to oxygenate blood. These microparticles are reportedly made up of a single layer of lipids or fatty molecules that surround a tiny pocket of oxygen gas and are immersed in a liquid solution. According to Dr. John Kheir of the Department of Cardiology at Boston Children's Hospital, when these microparticles were infused into animals that have low blood oxygen levels, the blood oxygen saturated to almost normal in a matter of seconds.
