CONCLUSION: Injected gas-filled microparticles can rapidly deliver life-saving oxygen to animals with incapacitated respiratory systems.
IMPLICATION: Once this breakthrough treatment is refined for human use, it could help paramedics and other emergency medical personnel prevent fatal complications. "This is a short-term oxygen substitute -- a way to safely inject oxygen gas to support patients during a critical few minutes," Kheir says in a statement. "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."
